I was flipping through my school's student handbook and I chanced upon this one by Confucius:
“By three methods we may learn wisdom: first by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
How true! I'm going to share this with my Normal Tech kids and get them to think about which path they are are on in the pursuit of knowledge, compared to what they are currently doing now. If they say that they don't know the answer to either of the questions, then well, that tells us all a lot too doesn't it...

Bitterest? Hmm... got such a word ah? Should be "most bitter" rite. :)
