The metaphor is the skeleton key to unlock the mind of any student.

Great teachers do not just know their subject - they love it. They do not just pass on knowledge - they pass on wonder. They do not just spend time teaching - they invest themselves into every student. They do not just improve results - they transform the imagination of those they teach.

The very best teachers do not teach their students - they enchant them with the wonder of learning that will last a lifetime.

People who have lost relationships often wonder why they can't just let it be "water under the bridge." It is water under the bridge - the trouble is we do not live on the bridge but in the river of life with its many twists and turns.

The ideal education gives you the ability to learn whenever you need to learn, to do whatever you need to do, to make a difference wherever need to go.

The best education is not about learning how to do a job - it is about learning the wonder of life. Those who discover the wonder of life will always find something important to do.
