Attitude is more important than education?
..interesting.
Education is secondary to conformation.
Conformity and attitude are the primary
education.
Yeesh
Wow more crypric writing...how interesting.

Now I know that attitude is "more important than education" and that "I DO EXSIST DANG IT!"

:D Nice. I wonder how long that was there? Have there been a lot of people exploring here? Any graffitti?
How do you change your attitude or improve it without being educated?
It seems to be similar to a quote by writer and clergyman Charles R. Swindoll, perhaps they didn't finish it...

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
Veery strange in deed?
I believe you're right, Zone.
looks like someone has an attitude
Ok then! Well, if the guy was in there, OBVIOUSLY education wasn't real high on the priority list! Not very many NASA rocket scientists were using that blackboard.
Yup, you have that correct, autoguy!
No, I think that autoguy doesn't have that correct; that is a remarkably ignorant thing to say.
How about the attitude of that pentagram.
Very cool to read the entire quote! Thanks. And I agree.....
The entire quote is very interesting, and I can see why they taught it to the inmates. I do not believe he was saying that education was unimportant, but that ones Attitude about education, or lack thereof, could have a profound effect on all people; regardless of all that life puts one through.

Throughout my long career my attitude was judged more than my accomplishments in many cases.
