About This Quote

Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance. Self-reliance is learning to be able to stand alone, no matter what the situation. It is never giving into others. It is learning to rely on yourself and not on others. It is learning how to deal with your problems, accepting your shortcomings, and finding the solution to your problems.
