How Many Fingers Do You See? 4 Recommendations of 444 Years

Have you ever try to see behind your fingers?

We’ll experiment together, a book I read recently inspired these essays. There are such sentences in this book, which started to be written exactly 444 years ago, as if it was written for these days, as if it was written for me, for you. I selected 4 recommendations from these sentences, I want to share them. 4 recommendations of 444 years. I’m sure you’ve heard and even read the title of this book many times. We will initially focus on what the book says, not its title or its author. Don’t look at the text below and try to find out the name and author of the book, look at me first, on my fingers! How many Fingers do you see?

Talking about a 444-year-old book, a 22-year-old movie intervened, normally there is no relationship between them, or everything is related and connected. Because in the book it says, “All the evil of the world comes from our accustoming to avoid revealing our ignorance, to accept what we refuse. We speak of everything pedantic and absolutely.”

Roman law is the basis of our legal system. There was such a custom in Rome that a person I knew said that he saw it with his eyes, and even what a judge put forward with the most conclusive evidence is spoken of, “It seems to me,” and not in a precise language.

The writer says that if I were to educate the children, I would get them used to respond as if they were asking, not as if to take a nap, what does that mean? I might understand that, is that right. Instead of speaking like scholars at the age of 10, those who want to get rid of ignorance, let them remain like a student at the age of 60, must be exposed.

Then come our first sentence and advice;

1- “She is the daughter of bright astonishment. Surprised is the foundation of the whole philosophe..”

Be surprised! Let me know some things too dear, know your goal except one thing. Know the port you will go to because no wind will do good to those who do not know the port to go. The person who was subjected to finger testing in the previous movie and the person who caught him in this experiment were patients who did not know where to go. This person then discovers where he wants to go. He decides that the best way to treat his own illness is to treat other patients. I also thought that the best way to learn things was to teach others. Here, our hero decides to become a doctor with the idea that helping others is helping himself.

What we said, you don’t have to know everything, just know the port you want to go to.

2- “No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.”

Set your goal Once you’ve set your goal, you will find a way to get there.

Here is a method for you, to listen instead of knowing and telling. The story of this character that I show in the movie is real, not made-up. It describes the attempts of someone who lost his way in life to reach there after determining his goal. One of these attempts is to enter medical school, although he is well older. “I don’t want to be rude, aren’t you a little old to start with?” Asks his roommate in the dormitory a little bit arrogantly, despite his young age. Isn’t that a very familiar question?

To start things, he has an age, rules, rules, then what others say. Most of the time, we ask ourselves these questions without the need of others to ask these questions, we prevent ourselves from giving the necessary answers, we sit where we sit. But ours doesn’t do that, instead of thinking it’s a bit of age to start with, it looks for examples that suggest that it isn’t.

You can find an example of this, even a fictitious one, to fend off those resentful, thrown away. Reconsider your perspective, how many do you see now? 4 or 40? Leave aside the perspective you have developed so far. The important thing is not what you have done until now, but what you will do from now on.

Don’t let your CV and education limit you, there is no age to learn. What did our writer say;

3- “Instead of talking like scholars at the age of 10, let them remain like a student at 60.”

Always be a learner, why do we learn, why do we go to school, why do we read books? To be better and smarter, to generate better thoughts, right? A human sees and hears with thought. It is the thought that takes advantage of everything, puts everything in order, takes over, and rules. Everything else is blind, deaf, and lifeless.

This writer complains that even 444 years ago we could not give young people the freedom to do things on their own, as if we can now. We turn children and young people into cowardly slaves. Slave to what others say.

They stick them in our minds like the word of God. The letters and words become what is being told. Moreover, words, form, should not be attached to the envelope. It is ingenuity to capture the essence of what is said and written. To know by heart is not to know, but to keep everything entrusted to your memory.

The only concern of the students has been turned into passing the exams, however, it is necessary to teach people to learn and to know by themselves. If he learns in this way, he can reach the master without looking for his friend, look for his place in the book, and use it as he wants.

So let’s write our fourth recommendation under our fourth sentence.

“Knowing by heart is not knowing; to keep everything that is entrusted to our memory.”

Do not memorize, learn to learn by yourself. It is best to awaken the enthusiasm and love of learning in young people. Otherwise, we make them donkeys laden with books. They’re carrying them a bag full of science at the force of whip. However, keeping science in our home is not enough. Need to marry him. If we just memorize saying 4 when we look here, it means we still haven’t married science.

This person, who learned to see differently by breaking memorizations regardless of his age, was a man named Hunter Adams. He used the nickname “patch”, which means patch, because he tried to fix people, to make them for them. The life story of Patch Adams, which started in his mental hospital, continued as a doctor. Throughout his life,he tried ways to help people, tried ways of happiness. He even tried to make people laugh with a different hello.

He tried to create a community where joy is a way of life, learning is the ultimate goal, and love is the ultimate goal.

Although he had almost no financial means, he found a way, bought a forest, and turned it into a treatment center.

Just a minute. Buying the forest? The author I cite in this article also bought a small forest in 1578. Though his financial means were much better than Patch Adams, he lived in a castle. But this comfortable and comfortable life could not prevent him from seeing differently. He decided to close himself in a tower of this castle and write a book. He attempted to write his thoughts freely, invented the essay genre, and gave the same name to his book “The Essays”. Yes, in this article, I have combined the sections I highlighted from his book with a life that has nothing to do with him. In case some of his ideas may be combined with yours, they can inspire you too. Maybe just because you think once more how many fingers you see here.

Mark the correct one of the options below, there is no such thing in real life, real life is not just the 4 lights above, but you have to find the answers yourself.

When I asked this question at the beginning of the article, I said the same thing, said look at me, how many fingers do you see? Do the same try, how many do you see now?

This is the essence of both Montaigne’s essays that I read about recently, as well as the life of Patch Adams.

When asked what would you recommend to young people, perhaps the best answer is to try to see what no one else can see. See that others prefer not to see, focus beyond fingers, objects. I know doing this is much more difficult than saying. But as Montaigne wrote
