In those days, there was no money to buy books.

About This Quote

When I was young, there were no books printed on paper. We bought books in libraries and used thick volumes bound in leather covers to do our school work. Even when I was in college there were still no books printed on paper. Nowadays most people have computers with all of their schoolwork stored in them.

I remember when I was in college, my professor told me that the most important thing for a student to do is study hard. She said that if you study hard, that is the only thing that will prevent you from failing.
