*No child needs to be motivated to learn. To learn is their trade.*
*They can't stop learning because they can't stop growing.*

*Every time we teach a child something, we keep him/her from *
*inventing it. On the other hand, that which we allow **him/her **to*
*discover will remain visible for **the rest of his/her life. *
