==='''II. Purpose of Course'''===

Whenever you take a course, or do anything, ask yourself why you are doing it.  In the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-24), the son left his father, lost everything, and became very hungry.  The turning point was when he finally questioned his own conduct.  What was the logic to it?  He realized his behavior made no sense, and then changed.  Imagine how much better off everyone would be if they questioned their own conduct that way.  There would be no drug addicts, for example.

In the acclaimed movie “A Beautiful Mind,” the professor began his class by asking the question: “Why are you here?”  The better answer you can give, the better you will do.  I’m very glad you are here, but you should be able to explain your own goals in being here.
