About this Quote

This quote by Ashley Montagu talks to the concept that our instructional system is focused on teaching us how to be effective, however not necessarily how to be excellent. Montagu is recommending that we are taught to pursue success, but not always to pursue goodness. He is indicating that our academic system is not teaching us how to be kind, compassionate, and understanding. He is saying that we are not learning how to be excellent people, but instead are discovering how to be successful. Montagu is suggesting that our instructional system must focus more on teaching us how to be good individuals, rather than just teaching us how to be successful. He is saying that if we focus more on mentor goodness, then we will be more effective in the long run.
