At the start of a new term at the University, a quotation about learning:

"There are two things you should never delegate;
your own learning and saying thank you."

Dr Peter Honey (Chartered psychologist and founder of Peter Honey Publications Ltd. He helped to develop the Learning Styles model widely used in education and training).

Additional Quotations from Peter Honey

"Learning has a beginning, middle and no end."

"It isn't what you know, it's what you do that counts."

This "Thought" is for two weeks over the Easter vacation. After this busy term, perhaps we need space simply to 'be' so that we can return refreshed. Our temptation is to fill our lives with business so that we do not have space to think, to be creative and to attend to friendships and relationships.

"In much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
For thought is a bird of space,
that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings
but cannot fly."

Khalil Gibran (1883-1931; Lebanese-American writer; from "The Prophet", 1926).
