<p>"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education
Is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done,
whether you like it or not.
It is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins,
it is the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
–Thomas Huxley</p>

<p>Education is the ablility to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Robert Frost</p>
