There are all different ways of learning and growing. There are amazing works by brilliant people available to us at any time. And we can gain so much from the words of our fellow man.

We all know what lessons we have learned from our experiences. And this is a big part of why we're here - to experience life, to learn and to grow.

-Lissa Coffey
