I was on Facebook yesterday when I saw the above quote.
It definitely made me think. But then, it was immediately followed by this quote as the very next post:
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” — Thomas Henry Huxley
Reading the two, one right after another like that, made me pause and reflect. I think of myself as educated and mature. And yet, I still struggle to live up to the standards expressed within those two quotes.
I guess the truth is that, no matter one’s chronological age, our true educational process of reaching our full human potential is never completely done.
True and those around us are our teachers. And they don’t give up.
