The world today takes no pity on the person who is lazy about learning. Either you will take responsibility for continuing your education or you will end up lacking the knowledge you need to enhance your career. Remind yourself that there is only one school with no graduates and that is the "School of Life." Recognize that learning is a life long journey and it is the only way you will remain competitive. Continuous improvement-the Japanese call it kaizen--offers some of the best assurance for enhancing your career. Kaizen is the relentless pursuit of a better way, striving for improved quality. Kaizen keeps you reaching and stretching to outdo yesterday. Therefore you should dig deep and keep learning. Invest in your personal growth, development and self renewal. Forget about "finishing" your education. Define yourself by developing a better package of knowledge and skills that than the next person. The more you know how to do and the better you do it, the more valuable you are.

--A Compilation


Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff; and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.

--Kahlil Gibran


Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is estatic in enjoyment, perennial in fame, unlimited in space, and infinite in duration. In the performance of its sacred offices, it fears no danger, spares no expense, looks in the volcano, dives into the ocean, perforates the earth, wings its flight into the skies, explores sea and land, contemplates the distant, examines the minute, comprehends the great, ascends to the sublime. No place too remote for its grasp, no height too exalted for its reach.

--De Witt Clinton


Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries.

-- Tyndall
