You can explore things like the ones below and train yourself in a warm, cosy, supportive group; it could be your family. Young ones in particular often need to be shown the ways into clever thinking.

The art of "well medleys" is here:

Golden standards laid bare

Avoid the abominable and serve well

Think "handy" where "golden" occurs in these scenarios. There is a good reason to find out just what could be meant when we say this and that is okay, or good to look at.
What kind of goodness is supposed to tie in then? And how much? In what manner? By whom and when? And what if the long-run after-effects aren't too good - how good is that starting-off goodness, perchance?
These things matter to clarify, at least plausibly. Let's admit we can't explain each and every concept on top of meticulously exposed values, as modern values are on the run or on the glide, and many values are terribly relative.
Yet, if we grant we're human beings that want to get along through decent manners and non-rudimentary ways - alone or together, but preferably together with congenial buddies of some sort - then the lasting good for the human enterprise (long life with as little pain and discomfort as well-nigh possible) is the end. This is the Epicurean stand, in a nutshell. Long live Epicure.
A lot of skill is needed to avoid getting tamed as a servile underdog (Fritz Perls's term) [Fuf 229]. A whole lot of skill is needed to avoid getting victimised, scapegoated, floundered and outside a good-looking laissez-faire. A great deal of skill is needed to minimise pain and troubles and maximise the good things of life, so that our well-being has a good chance to last all life long due to handling skills, serviceable routines and a set-up system or fabric that serves common man.
A thing is to be looked on as "good" if it serves that all-round conceptualisation of the human enterprise that puts decency or dignity in the first place, and allows fair play, humour and not wars out of greed or drives to debase and degrade others no matter how.

A look at the old-timers

Johann Pestalozzi (1746-1827) had interests in "good works" and strove for social sanitation for that end, for people had sunk from being misused, they were debased through corruption and in social perplexities, he saw. And then he turned an author! He also strove to show how the good art of teaching should be in his day, to lay that sort of thing bare. He wrote more than one book for these ends. The result was educational doctrine. [Mey 217, 219, 222]
Pestalozzi is described as "an educator with reform gurgling in his veins", one that "turned a cold shoulder to the schoolmaster's hankering to clutter the child's memory with useless knowledge." And "like Rousseau, he had great misgivings about the premature use of books". [Mey 225]
Pestalozzi never came near the means to ascertain how valid and poignant his dominant theories or greatest findings well could be, but "as his fame increased, his methods too began to be adopted on an ever-increasing scale - except in his native land." His liberal outlooks that his new methods reflected, seemed foreboding and dreadfully challenging there. [Mey 227-8]
In the United States his methods gave rise to a school of "booming success", "almost unbelievable interest, not only among professionals but among the laity as well." His educative system was thought to be the most up-to-date at that time. [Mey 229]
There is good reason to recall Jan Amos Comenius (1592-1670) too. He strove for something higher in his day, and "tolerated no cessation of his campaign to protect the young against moral contamination." [Mey 114]
Comenus wrote textbooks where "he set off his greatest glitter". Not all his successful writings and methods were widely imitated. "For some reason that even scholars have been unable to make out, ... that success breeds the flattery of imitation did not apply (etc.)". [Mey 117, 119]
And despite the valuable contributions to sounder education he stood up for, there were lots of people around that "would have been overjoyed to assist at his funeral." [Mey 123]

Warnings against symbiosis-ridden and morbid narcissists around

Many experts may be role-posers, not too good at it, really. Werner Heisenberg has discussed how immense that problem really is. [See Thd 211-3]
Now, let's go back to basics in this: That a thing is valuable or good in itself, or for common man, doesn't imply that the one that carries such jewels to market will be hailed by all and sundry - to the contrary at times. there are lots of interesting, psychological reasons for it.

One could be that of symbiosis or half-symbiosis, where victims of robbers and bullies end up kissing the hands that lick them.
Another could be that of outright narcissism that is funnelled into idolatrous Hinduism in the name of God, for that matter.
A third could be morbid deals gone too far.

These things (items) can be too hard to ascertain over and over. Yet, what is thought to be good for a guru's serf is hardly good for all others.
Times differ, climates differ, conditions, encounters and the general layout of living on this over-populated planet.
These matters laid aside, when you come across statements that obviously or much likely say that something is good, it should suggest the following - and here is a table:

A thing is good if ...

On the quest for excellence, it generally pays to stay fit and tidy. Apart for that, here is what we say, more or less, inside this line of didactics.
Taken together, these special items can form a serviceable net that allows free-flowing understanding better - one that is not topped by making big, alarming blunders over and over and preferably not outside appropriate good customs that pertain where it helps to be well versed and preferably candid in one's own right.
Apart from that, the context often decides.
Now, a thing, phenomenon or cluster of those items is said to be good if:

1 Dedicated to basic usefulness and not rueful in itself

Basically handy marked by usefulness.
Advancing some stouter-looking or more complete or whole-hearted fare - even advancing individual attainments.
Not promiscuous in gross outline.
Sound and well enough guarded
Culinary as to the mainframe, sort of - not dreadful at all.
Dedicated to a decent fare.
Preferably fair - not biased - or incredibly useful.
Well enough nuanced and tidy to look at. ¤
Not too blunt - preferably cosy or at hand.
Signifies with accuracy and well nuanced for most part.
Concrete without getting biased - often taken as practical for us
Often having to do with stringed accuracy to avoid confusion.
Useful and preferably pretty to look at too.

2 Relevant and often concrete, preferably tidy as well

Culinary can stand on top of even aristocratic-looking sturdiness
Suave (bland) - perhaps well aspected too. ¤
Serviceable in the long run - rustic-looking, too.
Decent modesty requires it many times.

3 Yielding or bulwarking some healthful fare or similar measures (strides)

Not heart-breaking, and hardly scarring innocent bystanders.
Good and healthy - and fit for most part - and clean in one way or other.
Is hand to look at, or as handy as can be - decent all over is preferred.
Often quite central.
Giving healthful fare(s) time enough to grow tall.
Can be stark, sometimes like great, novel art - it depends.
Giving an able hand, or leading up to that.

- not without inner consistency - and it all deals with the nobility that a genuine man is aiming for. And this could fit. You have to be judicious and as clever as can be on top of quite fit and all-round serveable elements. And bear that in mind.
Feel free to knit and braid and even criss-cross from among the various elements given, as long as it serves the general tenor we've managed to lay bare.
This advanced and brand new school of didactics and poesis for expressions and candid deals goes into still better and altogether aligned, geared-up arenas of assessing help. One way can lead up to or take one into the next item:

Enabling definition helpers;
The academic reservation set;
Grid-based co-definitions.
Fourth: hyper-alignments on top of the rest.

At the brink of cogent and well grounded style novelties

Initial briefing

"It normally helps to
appear in great shape
and not borrow
esteem."

Numbers or letters inside square brackets, [ ], often signify references. At times also this asterix: ¤. This token, [T+], can be found after sifted studies - they're designed in the tick tack format explained in detail here. T+ texts can also be enjoyed without knowing anything about their internal build-ups or depth structures.
As it is, we often hope to cope better from aligning to personally relevant insights. They can be had from any T+ shaped text survey. To make it easier to inspect any sifted T+ material, I've incorporated some identifying signals, such as this little one:

. It suggests some rewarding outlet to be attained by uncommon and deep struggle on top of fit study along some thread-line laid bare (articulated) and next actualised to your satisfaction - but it depends.

Room for quotations

If you have favourite poets, good quotes and other such stuff, tick tack toe layout can assist some practical use! Formerly fragmented and compartementalised assertions and knowledge bits should be grouped according to the hierographic design that tick tack toe is a neat part of, and then we can "add two and two" if we please. This strategic amalgamation effort can even be turned into a very synchretic one. And the synchretic stife can lead into good practical tenets, maybe a training program.

A training program on top of poets! Hitherto out of the question, but now a fact.

You can philosophise on top of great poets, writers, philosophers and terribly many others, due to this novelty. it's full-fledged already. A special site may serve for giving examples of that artful handling. Or we can assist our political party to form really handy programs. if given a fair chance and means to see things through. Much rests on such things too, and on getting accomplished. To get accomplished in marketing is normally outside the range of interest of researchers of basic science.
The special design we have, also makes the stuff much more loveable to look at for common people and youngsters. The same over-all groundwork makes accommodations much simpler. A lot research in learning psychology suggestst hat scheme-linked thinking helps in many ways (not all of them). The work of Jean Piaget has served to show these things to this day. Through good cognitive schemata that allow themselves to be built up, in the end there won't be a lot of divergent structurings to guess about, and maybe not a lot of neuroses either.
Once the tick tack toe structure has been understood, simple and cogent as it is, the only thing to do is to go on, understand more and better on top of it, and in the end reach solid accomplishments. It could happen.
We've generally taken pains to get rid of decorum in our essays. After all, professionalism or innate genius is helped by getting straight to the tenable and good cores, with a view to make future use of them - at least some of them. And these things allow themselves to be ascertained. You shouldn't just believe, but maintain calm reservations as well. Let's look into these things, shall we?

A

Cogent and smart presentation can be helped by over-all schemata, as stated above. Our strategy has many legs and one body. The head is your own thinking. The body is the tick tack toe strategy. The legs have to be considered as novelties. Surroundings determine how far you fit in - think of the animal also.

B

Quite culinary and artistry-helping standard reservations are presupposed. This established by way of routine and careful markers, The regularly presupposed and thoroughly suggested standard reservations bring about frisk enough or sterse enough academic style to look interesting outside those circles. As a matter of fact, the reader's complementary and all-round clever reservations have to be presupposed in these series. This semantics fits the firm maxim: "Make the ways straight for fair understanding without much ado".
Quite much can be helped by terse series of dogmatic-seeming self-help instructions. They can be hard to look at. Rallying sermons and stark training programs do have that mark at first, and may bring on a certain chill.
We've found that to appear dogmatic without necessarily being it, can be much similar to stern-looking British tact - appearing brisk, haughty and vain to look at at first glance. It can help against silly intruders. A very good reason for this style is had here: "Discern what's the operative "wavelengths" of too gullible individuals and learn to make apt use of those wave-lengths at work, if you mean to improve their lot." So, it's economic to yell through the tube that's already open to make an impression for good or bad or in between. It tends to vary.
You can look forcible without being it. St. Paul stood up as bold in writing and not impressive as a man, he stated. Through sermons many have looked forcible, have appeared to deliver forcible messages, while they themselves were not first-class. A firm-looking first impression can be quite a help.
Even though a brisk, terse, laconic-looking, poignant and quite "peeled off" style helps a lot so that central messages may get through to the receiver, one shouldn't be dogmatic anyhow. That's where lots of blandness comes into it, and well presupposed "standard reservations". By such means lots of beginners - children and youngsters - learnt a lot from proverbs and fairy tales where we grew up somewhere along the Atlantic coast in Norway.

C

Handsome omissions of "academic glue" can give a stark and much penetrating impression, as in modern art, modernist texts and further. The third thing to look into can be exemplified by the artful omissions of "quite", "maybe" and lots of others diplomatical modifiers. Put in other words, wherever you meet with "is", you could read such as "tends to be" "may be" or "seems" into it - like that. or "is quite". Similarly, instead of "doesn't" read "hardly" and add some "probably" to that too, so as to go gentler.
The folklore-looking presentations often do just these things regularly, and the interesting facet of it is that people like that sort of heritage. It fits the human heart, if not the nerves and mind deep inside. Children and others want to hear funny tales over and over again, love certain proverbs after some time (not all of them) for their endearing ways and suggestive lessons. These things have been operative for centuries or more, and have not been found wanting.
It could be that our tick tack toe allied and carefully modified means can bring about needed constructive spins (circles) that enhance id-likeable, savoury learning towards artistic outlets - which is really needed in a "machine-forming" age. These things work.
Our point is: You can presuppose a lot, and help a lot gullible ones to evolve inside faked authoritarian brusqueness till they can think good thoughts on their own. Tick tack toe scenarios help it. And everybody that is young is gullible some way or other. It's hard to receive learning without first-hand and first-class inspections along with it.

D

You can build knowledge carefully and by going about meticulously. It's a part of the so-called constructive endeavour in modern education. Either you select a good and building fare, you choose differently. And even if it's often a lot easier to tear down (act deconstructivistic and so on) than to build and be fair, a solution is hardly had without all-round, building (constructive) outlets by anyone. That's a philosophical tenet.
Either you spread sunshine or snow ...
On top of a long array of constructive outlets, at times we reach skilled and studied emblemology. They have a lot in Tibetan countries.
Now, the intrinsic pattern in the T+ set-up (i.e. tick tack toe lot of nexuses to be presupposed, and thus it's far from hard to master figurative outputs much and often. These things have to be trained as well. A lot can be accomplished outside tick tack toe scenarios, but we won't go into that for now.
On top of paraphrases and poignant similes, we have allegories and figures of speech, and over that again: emblems, or symbols. Tick tack toe friezes allow that climb towards seeming off-hand, as the good artist must.

E

Seeking some middling term, a courteous and bland expression than neither is outmoded or too extravagant, could run well. A society runs on the wheels of many middling things in general. By striving a lot to stay well inside some middling, smooth and bland fare, you can accommodate a lot better with less wear and tear, and without having to become neurotic.
   Pretty much depends on complementarity, though, and your deftness. Clever use is much. A facet of that is polite, smoothed or rounded off expressions if they bulwark against not so cosy associates, if they lessen nervousness among some involved; and they shouldn't breed neuroses.
   To appear cosy and jovial without being jovial inside, but brewing on intrigues, is hardly alarming to look at, but it can route out sincerity. There is seldom harm in being sincere among good men, and there is very often harm in being sincere and courageous in a minority and surrounded by a mob. Not everyone is as lucky as Voltaire when he was threatened by an alarming mob in England for being French - just for being French.
It was a tense situation till he called to them: "Haven't I been punished enough for being born a Frenchman?"
And it worked. He was hailed after that. The question is whether he really meant what he insisted on - how sincere he was. We have our doubts and admit it.
   Be that as it may. It's often possible to make some facets of what we insist on a whole lot more smooth-looking, more bland, polite at first glance and after that too, preferably. You know that a lot fables of Aesop mirror social conditions and other times. Many of the tales host carefully masked social criticism as well. The smoothness-ensuring devices may be of many kinds, not only suggestive metaphors. There is a certain elevated "smoothness of accomplishment" that shows up as figurative. If interpreting it, one should seek a welcomed fare, maybe the quite smooth-looking middle street and stance, to ensure things go well. But there are so many other options. We don't wan't to rule them out, only to hint at what is fairly often found serviceable along. The quite middling fare can be surveyed at least. If it's not found wanting and neurotic, by and large, maybe that path should be trodden - at least for a while - so as to derive benefit.
   If possible, a relevant, pregant, short and tidy way of wording can be readily preferred, as in Norse Håvamål. The sayings in it are fairly often well in tune with the selection principle called Occam's razor, and seem balanced also, even if the suggestions seem barbaric at times - and also like Solomon's counsel. [See Daf] Smooth sayings may assist beginners. Poetry and rhymes are learnt more easily, as a matter of fact. We think blank verse is a help too. Proficient "smoothness" amounts to assist many beginners. Along with accomplished, smooth rounding-off and simple, yet elegant ways of wording, it could mount up to bring long-term frivolity to some newcomers. There's nothing wrong with that, ideally.
   Through allegory, certain wider features may be shown a lot better. Maybe such facets stand out crisp and clear by figurative pinpointing - the much poetry-favouring device. We've often chosen the bland-looking middle way, the middling word, the colloquial phrase, as a matter of routine. This smoothing help is for your nerves most often. One part of the smoothing service is the use of camouflage words or such tokens. Some can derive benefits from that sort of murky and elegant presentation, and it can often remove some dire fear inside the hearts of inexperienced readers. The method is much used in folklore, in fables also. Note there are many old and more recent ways of accomplishing skilled translocation features, and ways may differ in a lot cultures. Good ways make the heart jolly.
Thus, if you come across the folklike "good baker" it mens that you have found "God", all aligned witht he Old Testament's use of similar devices. The potter is in fact the same one, but seen from a slightly deviating angle. There are many ways of smoothness.

F: Careful all-round escriptors

Further below you will be given so-called supportive elements that should co-build significant overtones and accessories around any statement we design to make.
These supporters is one breed. Another is the reservation elements. Skilled use of the latter can make you laugh.

Welcome to a brand new, all-round style that fits upbringing by and large

Results of these often built-in stylistic finesses can be a fine style that is cogent, fair, deeply in step with folkwise presentation, and remarkably terse - and it works against alter egos - It reads in parts just like fine poetry or can be evolved into that, if you get skilled in such trivias.
It took some time to develop these finesses and outlets and make a non-halting synergetic package of them. The new style is hardly haughty at all, hardly cross, though it may seem that way at first. You have to be neutral in order to do it justice, is my bet. The fact is, it's bland underneath. We dare say it generally works for good. There are puzzles otherwise as well.

As a result of tick tack toe strategy you can write poetry. If you go further and learn that program, you can make jokes, maybe fables too. And what's next? It can be up to you.
