to learning, you receive only the minimum in
returneven with your teachers best efforts,
in the end it is your work that determines how
much and how well you learn. When you
work to your full capacity, you can hope to
attain the knowledge and skill that will enable
you to create your future and control your

future thrust upon you by others. Take hold
of your life. Apply your gifts and talents.
Work with dedication and self-discipline. Have
high expectations of yourself. Convert every
challenge into and opportunity.
