Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
I'm moving into that eldership age, you know? I'm at the 'wise woman' age where it's not about learning, but utilizing the information that I have in a way that serves other people. That's a high calling and it's a great responsibility.
I think there are huge lessons there, for young people who are getting started in life, as well as other people. And that is, to take responsibility for your own life. Only you are responsible for the course you take from there.
I'll always be a student. I learn by doing.
When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.
Education is the best provision for old age.
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
I think the principal purpose of education is to allow each of us, when we become adults, to shape our own future.
Highly educated young people are tutored, taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives, except the most important, which is character building. When it comes to this, most universities leave them alone.
I see it as a responsibility of mine to teach others.
