JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

“This is now the unchained, unconstrained presidency.” “#TheUnconstrainedPresidency [Checks and Balances Eroded Long Before Trump]” by #JamesGoldgeier and #ElizabethNSaunders, @ForeignAffairs SEPT/OCT 2018 p. 144. I would recommend discipline of time. Ration time around pre-knowns factors, like class-time and your best hours to ingest information. Use association techniques for memorization. Take quick breaks and don’t forget proper nutrition.

Test-taking: Work fast but carefully.  Eliminate wrong answers, utilize “negative thinking” as well as common sense and equity.

Lay one’s life down for a friend?

In the scheme of things one might.

See George Clooney and Steven Seagal for instance in movies. Navy SEAL Seagal closes the hatch of the vessel, astronaut Clooney sends Sandra Bullock safely back to earth, losing their terrestrial lives.

“‘And all these things shall be added unto you’, alleluia.’ Mt 6:33; Lk 12:31

“There is no greater gift than to lay one’s life down for a friend.”–Jesus Jn 15:13 Discipline/Disciples

…I led the team of American diplomats representing the United States.  During the talks, my Iranian counterparts would occasionally ask how they could be assured that any deal we struck would be durable…I would answer by asking them a similar question: “What if hard-liners opposed to the deal regained power in Iran?”  It usually ended the discussion, as I thought it should: after all, I always expected that the greatest challenge to the deal’s success would be violations by Iran, not the political machinations of the president [sic] of the United States.
