Remaining Open to Continuous Learning

Being proud of admitting we don't know; resisting complacency. Learn from experiences!

A Ph. D. in living: P is for 'poor in knowledge.' Those who live best realize that they can never learn enough. H is for 'hungry to learn.' Those who hunger for knowledge will always find plenty to eat. D is for 'desire to succeed.' Those who desire to learn and improve, and those who persist in spite of obstacles, will live fully. Realize you're poor in knowledge, become hungry to learn and desire to succeed. Everybody and every occasion can become your teacher, and this is the Ph. D. that will open the door of success.
