“One student laid it wide open when she said with complete candor, “Of course you can’t eliminate the degree and grading system. After all, that’s what we’re here for.” She spoke the complete truth. The idea that the majority of students attend a university for an education independent of the degree and grades is a little hypocrisy everyone is happier not to expose.”

“Negative habits eat you up. They’re the biggest roadblocks that prevent you from realising your fullest potential; and the very first step towards crafting real change is to become aware of all the destructive habits that squander you! An awareness of what needs to be improved, tackled, or abandoned will go a long way in restructuring your life. Make a list of all the lousy habits that you want to eliminate; and then roust them out of your life, before they chomp you up completely. Axe them, uproot them, throw them into the ocean and never look back.”

It's like having a secret agent working behind the scenes, silently nudging us toward success or dragging us into the abyss of procrastination. With determination & a sprinkle of discipline, we can tame even the wildest of habits. So, let's embark on this journey of self-improvement, armed with the knowledge that every small change we make today paves the way for a brighter tomorrow.”

“At Gabriel College there was a very holy object on the high altar of the Oratory, covered with a black velvet cloth... At the height of the invocation the Intercessor lifted the cloth to reveal in the dimness a glass dome inside which there was something too distant to see, until he pulled a string attached to a shutter above, letting a ray of sunlight through to strike the dome exactly. Then it became clear: a little thing like a weathervane, with four sails black on one side and white on the other, began to whirl around as the light struck it. It illustrated a moral lesson, the Intercessor explained, for the black of ignorance fled from the light, whereas the wisdom of white rushed to embrace it. {Alluding to William Crookes's radiometer.}”

“Why are you so sad Fluffytail?” asked Mr. Alligator. Fluffytail was very surprised since no one else had ever asked him this question. “I’m new in town and searching for friends, but no one wants to be my friend. This makes me afraid to start a new school,” Fluffytail said. “I think it’s my fluffy tail.” “Don’t worry little one. I am also different from all the other alligators in this pond. I was born with only half of a tail and I have many good friends.”
