for tomorrow belongs to the people
who prepare for it today

 Learning
Learning is not a spectator sport.
Students do not learn much just sitting
in classes listening to teachers,
memorizing prepackaged assignments,
and spitting out answers.
They must talk about what they are
learning, write reflectively about it,
relate it to past experiences, and apply
it to their daily lives.
They must make what they learn part of
themselves
Chickering & Gamson (1997)
