The words of Thomas Huxley provide food for thought when we consider the value of education and   the importance of self-management.

Perhaps the most valuable

result of all education

is the ability to make

yourself do the things

you have to do

when it ought to be done,

whether you like it or not;

it is the first lesson that

ought to be learned;

and however early a man’s

training begins,

it is probably the last lesson

that he learns thoroughly.
