Its not the destination, but the journey

that counts

On this journey ...

Have an open mind

Question everything

Learn, unlearn and relearn

Analyse, review andunderstand

any idea

Learn avidly.

Question repeatedly

what you have learned.

Analyze it carefully.

Then put what you

have learned into

practice intelligently- Confucius

Success

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics

and endure the betrayal of false friends;To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by

a healthy child, a garden patch

or a redeemed social condition;To know even one life has breathed

easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Diversity

We all live with the objective of being happy;

our lives are all different and yet the same Anne Frank

[People] may be said to resemble not thebricks of which a house is built, but the pieces

of a picture puzzle, each differing in shape,

but matching the rest, and thus bringing outthe picture.

Felix Adler

can speak is to support the rights of people you don'tagree with.
