You Can Learn Anything

"The lesson I learned from the study of people who creates something in their lives out of nothing...alchemists...[is] that you can learn anything if you really want to. Passion was what drove these people...If you care enough you will find out what you need to know and chase the source of the knowledge or the skill. The alchemists never spoke of failures or mistakes but only of learning experiences. Passion as the secret of learning is an odd solution to propose but I believe that it works at all levels and all ages."

-- Charles Handy


"If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive."

-- Barry Lopez


"Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought."

-- Henri L. Bergson


"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving."

-- Mother Teresa
