From the first, I made my learning, what little it was, useful every way I could.
I'd say I learned a lot. It's all about whether or not I can apply it.
Learning locked in mildewed books is of little use to anyone and therefore of no value unless it can be used.
That's the beauty of education, kids taking lessons out of the classroom and back into their own world where they can positively affect their family, their friends, and their greater community.
Education does not take place when you learn something you did not know before. Education is your ability to use what you have learned to be better today than you were yesterday.
Our learning ought to be our lives' amendment, and the fruits of our private study ought to appear in our public behavior.
I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
A man has only so much knowledge as he puts to work.
In general I ask for books that make use of learning, not those that build it up.
Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.
I'm able to utilize a lifetime of learning to help teach young people how to apply sound marketing strategy and principles for the purpose of growing the client's business. And for me, that's just too much fun.
Ah yes, the head is full of books. The hard part is to force them down through the bloodstream and out through the fingers.
Shall we be destined to the days of eternity, on holy-days, as well as working-days, to be showing the relics of learning, as monks do the relics of their saints - without working one - one single miracle with them?
