……. This kind of self-reflection is the beginning of the most significant education of your life. In coming to know yourself (understanding how your past has brought you to this point and what is beneficial for you to keep and what is best to discard), you can subsequently move towards what you wish to learn outside of yourself—specifically, the things which actually peak your interest and excite you to learn. When education becomes enjoyable, you naturally wish to continue with it progressively.  (From page 18 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)

Author’s Comment: Schools are thought of as the main centers of education. However, the most important, meaningful (for life) education comes from self-reflection and living out what is learned therein. Knowing your true self takes a lot of time and discipline and, when done correctly, can bring you a lifetime of contentment and excitement in learning more about your deepest passions.
