It may also change over time as you come to have greater understanding of your System and how you all relate to and interrelate with each other.”

We are in the process of becoming.”

“The system that aims at educating our boys and girls in the same manner as in the circus where the trainer teaches the lion to sit on a stool, has not understood the true meaning of education itself.
