Being able to absorb information from the world around you and utilise it in a way that benefits you and will help in the times ahead is an invaluable skill to have and nurture. Be fearless in your pursuit of knowledge and strong in the growth of your character.

"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help particularly when you have a long run ahead of you." - Charlie Munger
