I strongly believe on.....

"Education is considered a powerful tool for change and growth, something that cannot be taken away. It is seen as an investment with good returns and a key to the future for those who prepare. Learning is viewed as a spark that ignites and a path for continuous mental development."

"Effective learning involves involvement and doing, not just being told or taught. Learning a skill comes through practice and potential stumbles, not just by following instructions. Application and action are crucial, as knowing is insufficient without doing. Practice is highlighted as the difficult part of learning, essential for transformation."

Happy learning and keep going ahead!
