The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.

  1. Words of Wisdom. That's a beautiful quote and a great reminder to not let our noses get so far up in the air. Thanks for posting that.

  2. Instead of being graded on how well they are doing in relationship to others in a class, perhaps students would be better served by being graded on the progress they have made related to their abilities.

    Some brilliant students go all the way through school with little effort while other students with less ability have to work diligently just to pass the course.
