You only understand information relative to what you already understand.

Most of us do not even know how to ask a question. Most of us do not see the root of the word 'question' is 'quest'. Most of us don't have a quest in our life.

I was the night foreman of a galvanizing factory, which is hot and smelly and dirty and miserable.

time wasted is not always a waste of time.
