Illustration Friday - wise

It's very wise to embrace diversity.

Just had to post this one again

"Change is the end result of all true learning. Change involves three things: first, a dissatisfaction with self -- a felt void or need; second, a decision to change -- to fill the void or need; and third, a conscious dedication to the process of growth and change -- the willful act of making the change: doing something."

-- Dr. Leo Buscaglia, American Professor of Education at USC
