- Thomas H. Huxley

What I think this means is that we education will lead us to do what we have to do even if we don't like that task. That we learn to tolerate everything and do what we gotta do.

- Robert Frost (1874-1963)


What I think this means is that without education, your behavior will not improve.

This may lead to even the death of a loved one...

Quote of the Day-February 23, 2010

51) "A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life."

- Reverend Eduard A. Malloy

A college degree means that you are prepared to live life. I don't really agree that much with this quotation entirely due to the fact that we all haven't seen all the perspectives of life just some. SO that means that we're not really that prepared for what's coming up everyday.

50) "The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself. Prove that you can control yourself and you are an educated person; and without this all other education is good for nothing."

- R. D. Hitchcock

It is relevant that we see our mistakes and learn from them. It is better to not say what you don't mean. Another relevant idea is that we also have to control our character and we will be more educated and will not be ignored. That's how the people of higher status makes negotiations.

It's relevant to learn due to the fact that we also learn other attitudes along the path. And we leave path for others that we care about: our families.

47) "The direction in which education starts a man/woman will determine his/her future life."

Education is part of our lives, we learn of it every single day. There is no way that education is hard; people are lazy or unwilling to learn/concentrate.

everything needs training. If there is something without knowledge, then there is no way to be that thing/object/person (futuristic stuff). Training and practice makes prefect.

Quote of the Day-January 6, 2010

42) "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

- Mark Twain

I think this means that Mark Twain didn't take his education from school. Or maybe that he'll only take in what is he really wants to know from school??

Quote of the Day-January 5, 2010

41) "Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."

- Malcolm Forbes

This means that education leaves you with knowledge. Also to make us more open to what we hear... That is why we are here today.
