Learn, for it is the only way to grow.





"A child miseducated is a child lost." 
-John F. Kennedy.

Learning shouldn't be about spoon-feeding, but instead it should be an act of adapting to our environment by equipping ourselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to advance and survive.

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. 
If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
-Nelson Mandela 

Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said. And this is a statement I hold dear for only when I picked up my second and third language did I have grounds to compare and reevaluate the mother tongue I thought I knew so well.
“Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.”
