Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.
Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom democracy and sustainable human development.
If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.
Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls which molds and develops men.
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed.
Develop a passion for learning. If you do you will never cease to grow.
If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
Sticking to a diet required me to have a permanently low self-esteem. But happily I developed other skills beyond a fluctuating weight eventually building up a different source of self-worth.
