Philosophy of Learning • “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” • Have a plan & make goals; let these direct every choice made • “If It’s important, you’ll find a way; If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse.” • “I” am responsible for my own education. • “Don’t play leap-frog with unicorns!” • Make choices that cause the least amount of grief; stay focused on destination
