We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once. Some people do best studying in structured, linear way, while others do best jumping around, surrounding a subject rather than traversing it. Some people prefer to learn by manipulating models, and others by reading.

Governments cannot make marriages or turn feckless individuals into responsible citizens. That needs another kind of change agent.

Jonathan Sacks

Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.

David Attenborough

In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
