A Good Quote

A lovely quote from a teacher I know.

"Listen and watch the world around you. Try to understand why things happen. Don't be satisfied with answers others give you. Don't assume that because everyone believes a thing it is right or wrong. Reason things out for yourself. Work to get answers on your own. Understand why you believe things. Finally, write what you honestly feel and then learn from the criticism that will always come your way." ~Avi
