Wallace This is Water

I enjoyed the speech given by Wallace.  I think throughout his speech he made a lot of great points.  For example he says your education is not so much about "filling you up with knowledge as it is teaching you how to think". I agree with this to an extent.  I and probably most other college students feel like I am "learning" a lot of stuff in college that will not help me in my career field. Which can be frustrating and make it hard to stay motivated. Although with that being said I don't agree that college is teaching me to be patient when waiting in line at the grocery store after a long hard day.  I also really like his didactic story about the christian and the atheist. It makes you think and I think it proved how the same experience can be taken differently by two different people.  I think a lot of things in life are this way and the way you think does play a big role in life.  Therefore I agree that is it important to know how to think. Thinking in a positive manner can improve life.
