Quote for January 8th

It seems that somewhere around eighteen (give or take ten years), something in us decides, "That's it, I've had it, I'm done.  I know all I need to know. I'm not learning any more."
--The Portable Life 101

A thirst for knowledge is so much more exciting -- give it a try.

Quote of January 7th

We know who wrote, "To be or not to be, that is the question," but we don't know the answer.

Quote: How to live.

That our educational system is not designed to teach us the "secrets of life" is no secret.  In school, we learn how to do everything--except how to live.

Pathways to Success

I just logged on to the Pathways to Success website and note that the application is still not accessible.  Suggest you check every day .  This  scholarship is very worth considering -- perhaps the best in the valley.
