Quote for Thursday, March 8, 2007

"Do not try to satisfy your vanity by teaching a great many things.  Awaken people’s curiosity.  It is enough to open minds; do not overload them.  Put there just a spark.  If there is some good inflammable stuff, it will catch fire."

-Anatole France

    this is a very true quote. that’s the way all of my own interests and hobbies have started. it’s important for the person that’s in the position of giving knowledge to not just spew out all of this information because nobody cares and then that will cause a lapse in interest for the student maybe leading on to their complete and utter loathing of learning. we don’t want that.
