“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught.

Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.”

Criss Jami

“The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.”

“The key to pursuing excellence is to embrace an organic, long-term learning process, and not to live in a shell of static, safe mediocrity. Usually, growth comes at the expense of previous comfort or safety.”
