The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
- Alvin Toffler

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
- Henry Ford

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.

How about acquiring a two year experience, and more, in ConTeXt ?  ;O)

There are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties or
you alter yourself to meet them.

I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the
happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

When you reach the top, keep climbing.

 Be your guest.  :O)

>I'm stuck by so many problems.

I never believed I wouldn't make it - and perhaps that's why I've always
found work. I've always stuck at everything I've ever done. I absolutely
won't give up.

Two others for the road...

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing
anything very innovative.
- Woody Allen

Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and
you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose - not the one
you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember.
- Ann Sullivan

Hope this helps,
Alan
