Cei ce ne educ? îngr?m?desc în noi atâtea idei vechi, opinii învechite, vechi modalit??i de acÈ›iune. Ca È™i cum ai acoperi plantele cu straturi peste straturi de p?mânt vechi. Nici nu e de mirare c? bietele ml?diÈ›e care r?sar sunt rareori verzi È™i proaspete.

~ John G. Miller
We attend too many seminars. We take too many classes. We buy too many books. We play too many audios in our cars. It's all wasted if we're unclear on what learning really is: Learning is not attending, listening, or reading. Learning is really about translating knowing what to do into doing what we know. It's about changing. If we have not changed we have not learned.
~ John G. Miller
