The Lamp in the Dark 💡

The lights went out one rainy evening.

The whole house became silent.

No television.

No fan.

No bright bulbs.

Just darkness.

A little girl quietly walked to a shelf.

She picked up a tiny lamp.

Lit it.

Suddenly...

A small circle of light appeared.

Her older brother laughed.

"Seriously?"

"That tiny lamp can't brighten this whole house."

She looked at him.

Smiled.

And said,

"It doesn't have to."

"It only needs to help me take the next step."

She walked carefully to the kitchen.

Then to the hallway.

Then to her room.

The lamp never lit the entire house.

But it never needed to.

It only had one job.

Show the next step.

Learning works exactly the same way.

Many people never start because they're waiting to understand everything.

They buy a course.

Open the first lesson.

Then panic.

"There are 200 videos."

"There are 15 chapters."

"This looks too difficult."

"My brain can't handle all this."

So they close the course.

Not because they aren't smart.

But because they're trying to see the finish line before taking the first step.

Imagine driving at night.

Your car headlights don't show the entire road to your destination.

Sometimes they only reveal the next 100 metres.

Yet somehow...

People travel hundreds of kilometres safely.

Why?

Because every new metre reveals the next one.

Learning behaves the same way.

You don't need clarity for the whole journey.

You only need clarity for today.

Mastery is simply a series of visible next steps.

A child doesn't learn to read by memorising the dictionary.

They learn one letter.

Then another.

Then sounds.

Then words.

Then sentences.

Eventually...

They're reading books they once thought were impossible.

Not because they jumped.

Because they stepped.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Think about learning to ride a bicycle.

Nobody begins by riding through busy streets.

First...

You learn to balance.

Then pedal.

Then steer.

Then brake.

Each small skill unlocks the next one.

Trying to master everything at once would only make the journey harder.

Learning is built in layers.

One layer supports the next.

The same is true for exams.

Some students stare at an entire textbook and immediately feel overwhelmed.

Their brain sees hundreds of pages and quietly whispers,

"This is impossible."

But what if they ignored the whole book?

What if they simply asked,

"What can I understand in the next twenty minutes?"

Suddenly...

The mountain becomes a single step.

And single steps are much easier to climb.

Researchers call this reducing cognitive load.

Your brain learns best when it focuses on manageable pieces instead of trying to process everything at once.

That's why breaking learning into small chunks improves understanding, memory, and confidence.

The goal isn't to know everything today.

The goal is to know a little more than yesterday.

Small wins teach your brain,

"I can do this."

And confidence grows with every completed step.

The most successful learners don't ask,

"How do I finish this course today?"

They ask,

"What's the next thing I need to understand?"

Then they do it.

Tomorrow...

They ask again.

That's how doctors are trained.

That's how engineers are made.

That's how musicians become professionals.

That's how athletes become champions.

Not through giant leaps.

Through thousands of small, consistent steps.

Here's something worth remembering.

A lamp doesn't remove all darkness.

It simply makes progress possible.

Learning doesn't require perfect understanding.

It requires enough understanding to move forward.

Every page you read...

Every problem you solve...

Every mistake you correct...

Every question you ask...

Is another step illuminated.

And those little lights eventually become mastery.

🧪 Today's Experiment

Don't think about finishing the entire course.

Don't think about the whole textbook.

Don't think about the final examination.

Instead, ask yourself one simple question:

"What is the next small step?"

Maybe it's reading one page.

Maybe it's watching one lesson.

Maybe it's solving one question.

Maybe it's reviewing yesterday's notes.

Whatever it is...

Light your lamp.

Take that step.

Tomorrow, you'll light the next one.

Because mastery isn't built by seeing the whole journey.

It's built by faithfully taking the next step.

The Little Boy and the Kite 🪁

A little boy received a beautiful kite as a birthday gift.

He couldn't wait to fly it.

He ran across the field...

Pulled the string...

And threw it into the air.

It rose for a second...

Then crashed.

He tried again.

It crashed again.

He ran faster.

Pulled harder.

Held the string tighter.

Still...

The kite refused to fly.

After almost an hour, he sat on the grass.

Frustrated.

"I guess I'm just bad at flying kites."

His father had been watching quietly.

He didn't laugh.

He didn't grab the kite and fly it himself.

Instead...

He picked it up.

Looked at the wind.

Turned the kite slightly.

Changed the angle.

Then handed it back.

"Try again."

The little boy ran.

This time...

The kite climbed.

Higher.

Higher.

Until it was dancing in the sky.

The boy shouted,

"I did it!"

His father smiled.

"No...

You changed the method."

Many people treat learning the same way.

When Mathematics feels difficult...

They solve more questions.

When English feels confusing...

They read the same page again.

When coding seems impossible...

They spend more hours staring at the screen.

They keep doing more of the same thing.

Then they wonder why nothing changes.

Here's something worth remembering:

More effort doesn't always solve a learning problem.

Sometimes...

The problem isn't your intelligence.

It isn't your memory.

It isn't your age.

It's your approach.

Imagine trying to unlock your front door.

Would you keep forcing the wrong key?

Of course not.

You'd try another key.

Learning works exactly the same way.

If reading isn't helping...

Try drawing.

If memorizing isn't working...

Try explaining it to someone.

If textbooks feel confusing...

Watch an animation.

If watching videos makes you sleepy...

Build something with your hands.

If studying alone is difficult...

Learn with a friend.

Every brain has its favorite pathway.

The smartest learners aren't the ones who always study the longest.

They're the ones who quickly recognize when a method isn't working...

And aren't afraid to change it.

Think about children.

Some learn to ride a bicycle by watching.

Others only learn after falling a few times.

Some musicians learn by reading notes.

Others learn by listening.

The destination is the same.

The road is different.

So before you say,

"I'm just not good at this."

Ask yourself a better question:

"Have I tried learning it another way?"

That one question has rescued thousands of learners from giving up too soon.

Sometimes the smallest adjustment creates the biggest breakthrough.

Just like the kite...

A tiny change in direction can send your learning soaring.

🧠 Learning Lesson

When you're stuck, don't immediately increase your effort.

First...

Examine your method.

Working harder on the wrong strategy often creates frustration.

Working differently often creates understanding.

🧪 Today's Experiment

Think of one topic you've been struggling to understand.

Now promise yourself that today, you won't study it the usual way.

Instead, choose one different approach:

🎨 Draw it as a diagram.

🎤 Teach it aloud as if you're explaining it to a 10-year-old.

🎬 Watch a short animation or demonstration.

🎭 Act it out with simple objects around you.

📝 Turn it into a story.

🧩 Build a simple example from real life.

After 20 minutes...

Ask yourself:

"Did this method help me understand it better?"

You may discover that the breakthrough wasn't waiting for more time.

It was waiting for a different angle.

📖 Story #010
The Chef's Spoon 🥄

A young chef stood over a large pot of soup.

Steam curled into the air.

The kitchen smelled wonderful.

He picked up a spoon.

Tasted the soup.

"Hmm..."

He added a pinch of salt.

Stirred slowly.

Then tasted it again.

Still not perfect.

He sprinkled in a little pepper.

Stirred.

Tasted again.

Better.

But not quite there.

He added a few fresh herbs.

Stirred once more.

Then tasted it again.

A customer watching nearby couldn't understand what he was doing.

"You've tasted that soup four times already," he said.

"Why don't you just finish cooking?

You're wasting time."

The chef smiled.

Then held up the spoon.

"This spoon doesn't slow me down.

It saves me."

The customer looked confused.

The chef continued,

"If I wait until the soup is finished before tasting it...

What happens if it's too salty?

Or too bland?

Or missing flavor?

By then...

I've already cooked the whole pot.

The mistake becomes expensive."

The customer nodded.

The chef dipped the spoon into the soup one last time.

"Every taste gives me information.

Every adjustment makes the next taste better."

Learning works exactly the same way.

Many people study for hours without checking whether they're actually understanding anything.

They keep reading.

Keep highlighting.

Keep copying notes.

Keep watching videos.

Because it feels like learning.

But learning isn't measured by how long you study.

It's measured by what your brain can bring back without looking.

That's why so many students leave the classroom feeling confident...

Only to sit in the exam hall and suddenly realize,

"I've seen this before...

But I can't remember it."

The exam didn't create the problem.

It simply revealed it.

Imagine driving from Lagos to Abuja without ever looking at the fuel gauge.

You don't discover you're running out of fuel because the car suddenly became bad.

You discover it because you never checked along the way.

Learning needs checkpoints too.

Every few minutes, your brain is asking,

"Did you actually understand that?"

Most people never answer.

Instead, they wait until the exam to find out.

That's like waiting until guests arrive before tasting the food.

The smartest learners don't wait for the final test.

They create tiny tests while they're learning.

After a few pages...

They pause.

Close the book.

Explain the idea aloud.

Answer questions from memory.

Draw a quick diagram.

Teach an imaginary student.

Those small moments of retrieval are like the chef's spoon.

They reveal little mistakes while they're still easy to fix.

Because small corrections today...

Prevent big disappointments tomorrow.

🧪 Today's Experiment

The next time you study, don't read for an hour without stopping.

Instead...

Study for 15 minutes.

Then close everything.

Ask yourself these three questions:

1️⃣ What are the three most important ideas I just learned?

2️⃣ How would I explain them to a 10-year-old using simple words?

3️⃣ Which part am I still unsure about?

If you struggle to answer...

Congratulations.

You haven't failed.

You've found the exact place your brain needs more attention.

That's how real learning grows.

Not by hiding what you don't know...

But by discovering it early enough to improve it.

Remember:

The chef doesn't taste the soup because he doubts himself.

He tastes it because excellence is built one small correction at a time.

🥄 Don't wait until exam day to discover what you don't know.

Taste your learning while you're making it.

👇 Have you ever walked into an exam feeling prepared... only to realize halfway through that you didn't understand a topic as well as you thought? What happened?

🪞 Learning Story #008: The Barber's Mirror
Have you ever walked away from a study session feeling confident...

Only to discover during a test that you didn't know the material as well as you thought?

You're not alone.

There's a reason that happens.

A young barber had just finished cutting a customer's hair.

The customer smiled.

"It looks great."

Most beginners would have stopped there.

But this barber didn't.

Instead, he picked up a mirror.

Not to admire the customer.

To inspect his own work.

He walked around the chair.

He looked from every angle.

He noticed one side wasn't perfectly balanced.

A few careful snips.

Then he spotted a tiny patch that needed blending.

Another adjustment.

He stepped back.

Looked again.

Now he smiled.

The haircut wasn't finished when the customer approved it.

It was finished when the barber could no longer find anything to improve.

The mirror showed him what his eyes had missed.

Learning works the same way.

Many people believe they understand something simply because they have read it three or four times.

The words look familiar.

The pages feel comfortable.

Everything seems clear.

But familiarity is not mastery.

Reading your notes again is like looking at your face without a mirror.

You see what you expect to see.

You don't notice the gaps.

Your brain quietly fills in the missing pieces, creating the illusion that you've learned.

Real learning begins when you force your brain to produce the information without looking.

That's your mirror.

A quiz doesn't just measure learning.

It strengthens it.

Explaining a concept to someone else doesn't just prove what you know.

It exposes what you don't.

Closing your notebook and solving a problem from memory doesn't just test your knowledge.

It reveals exactly where your understanding is incomplete.

Every mistake you make during practice is a hidden weakness becoming visible.

And that's good news.

Because you can only improve what you can see.

The barber didn't fear the mirror.

He depended on it.

Learners should too.

Instead of asking,

"How many times have I read this?"

Ask,

"Can I explain it without looking?"

That's the question that separates studying from learning.

🎯 Today's Learning Challenge
After you finish learning today...

Resist the urge to read your notes one more time.

Instead:

✅ Close your book.

✅ Write down everything you remember.

✅ Teach the lesson to someone—even if it's an empty chair.

✅ Solve a few questions without checking your notes.

Every forgotten point...

Every wrong answer...

Every moment you hesitate...

That's your mirror showing you exactly what to improve.

Don't be discouraged by what it reveals.

Be grateful.

A mirror doesn't create your flaws.

It simply helps you fix them.

And that's how real learning happens.

👇 How do you usually check if you've truly learned something? Do you test yourself, teach someone else, or simply read your notes again?

✏️ Story #009: The Carpenter's Pencil

A small crowd had gathered to watch an old carpenter build a beautiful wooden table.

His hands moved with confidence.

Measure.

Mark.

Cut.

Fit.

Every piece seemed to know exactly where it belonged.

Then something unusual happened.

Just when everyone thought he was making great progress...

He stopped.

He reached into his pocket.

Pulled out his pencil.

Sharpened it carefully.

Only then did he continue working.

A young apprentice standing nearby couldn't understand it.

After watching this happen several times, he finally asked,

"Master...

Why do you keep stopping?

You're losing time.

Shouldn't you finish the table first?"

The old carpenter smiled.

He placed the pencil on the table and looked at the young man.

Then he asked a question instead.

"If my pencil becomes dull...

what happens to my lines?"

"They become less accurate," the apprentice replied.

"And if my lines are wrong..."

"The wood will be cut wrongly."

"And if the wood is cut wrongly?"

"The whole table may not fit together."

The old carpenter nodded.

Then he said something the apprentice never forgot.

"Would you rather spend two minutes sharpening your pencil...

or two hours repairing your mistakes?"

The apprentice didn't answer.

He didn't need to.

He finally understood.

The carpenter wasn't slowing down.

He was preventing problems before they happened.

🧠 Learning works exactly the same way.

Many students believe learning starts the moment they open a book.

It doesn't.

Learning starts long before the first sentence is read.

Yet most people rush into studying.

They sit down with no clear goal.

Their phone is buzzing.

The television is on.

Five browser tabs are open.

Their mind is still thinking about what happened earlier in the day.

After ten minutes...

They've read an entire page.

But if you ask what they just learned...

They honestly can't tell you.

Not because they're unintelligent.

Because they never sharpened their mind before they started.

Think about athletes.

Do they sprint the moment they arrive?

No.

They stretch.

They warm up.

They prepare their muscles.

Think about chefs.

Do they start cooking before gathering ingredients?

No.

Everything is arranged first.

Think about pilots.

Do they simply start the engine and fly?

Never.

They go through a checklist every single flight.

Preparation isn't delaying the work.

Preparation is part of the work.

Learning is no different.

Your brain performs better when it knows exactly what it's about to do.

Psychologists call this goal-directed attention.

When you give your brain a clear target, it naturally begins filtering out information that doesn't matter and paying closer attention to what does.

That's why a few minutes of preparation can save you hours of confusion later.

💡 Learning Lesson

Preparation is not procrastination.

Preparation is an investment.

Every minute spent getting ready can save many minutes of rereading, forgetting, and correcting mistakes.

Don't just prepare your books.

Prepare your mind.

A sharp mind learns faster than a busy one.

🧪 Today's Learning Experiment

Before your next study session...

Don't open your textbook immediately.

Spend just 3 intentional minutes sharpening your mind.

✅ Put your phone somewhere you can't easily reach.

✅ Clear unnecessary tabs or items from your workspace.

✅ Take one deep breath and relax your mind.

✅ Write one simple sentence:

"By the end of this session, I want to understand __________."

Then begin studying.

When you're finished, ask yourself one question:

"Did studying feel easier than usual?"

You might be surprised.

Sometimes the biggest improvement doesn't come from studying harder.

It comes from preparing better.

Because just like the carpenter's pencil...

A prepared mind makes fewer mistakes.

And fewer mistakes mean faster learning.

👇 Learning Detective Challenge

What's the biggest distraction that usually steals your attention while studying?

Is it your phone?

Noise?

Social media?

Overthinking?

Or something else?

Share it in the comments.

Someone else might discover they're fighting the very same distraction.

🌱 Learning Story #007: The Farmer's Secret

A little boy followed a farmer around his field one morning.

He watched him dig neat rows.

Drop tiny seeds into the soil.

Cover them gently.

Then water them.

The next morning...

The farmer came back.

Watered the field again.

And walked away.

The little boy couldn't understand it.

He asked,

"Aren't you going to check if the seeds are growing?"

The farmer smiled.

"No."

"But... how will you know?"

The farmer laughed so hard he nearly dropped his watering can.

"If I dig up the seed every day..."

"It will never grow." 😂

The boy stood quietly.

Then the farmer picked up a handful of soil.

"Some of the most important work happens where you cannot see it."

"The seed is growing before the leaves ever appear."

Learning works the same way.

Many people expect their brains to behave like a light switch.

"I studied for two hours."

"Why don't I remember everything already?"

Or they read one chapter today...

Wake up tomorrow...

And panic because they can't recall every detail.

So they conclude,

"Maybe I'm just not good at learning."

But your brain isn't failing.

It's building.

Every time you read something new...

Your brain begins creating new connections between nerve cells.

The first connection is usually weak.

That's why new information feels slippery.

When you practice...

Those connections become stronger.

When you review...

Your brain wraps those pathways in a protective coating that allows information to travel faster and more accurately.

This process doesn't happen instantly.

Just like a seed doesn't become a tree overnight...

Knowledge doesn't become mastery after one study session.

Growth often happens long before you can see the results.

Think about learning to ride a bicycle.

At first, every movement feels awkward.

Your balance disappears.

Your legs forget what to do.

Then one day...

Without warning...

Everything clicks.

People call it talent.

It wasn't.

Your brain had simply been growing in the background all along.

The same thing happens when learning mathematics.

Speaking a new language.

Playing the piano.

Writing.

Coding.

Driving.

Even memorizing Bible verses.

Progress is usually invisible...

Until it suddenly becomes obvious.

That's why impatient learners often quit just before improvement begins.

They keep digging up the seed to check if it's growing.

Instead of watering it.

🌱 Today's Learning Challenge

Don't measure your progress by what you remember after one study session.

Measure it by whether you returned to practice.

Today...

Plant the seed.

Tomorrow...

Water it with review.

Next week...

Strengthen it with practice.

Then give your brain permission to do its quiet work.

Trust the process.

Because real learning is less like flipping a switch...

And more like growing a tree.

Slow.

Steady.

Alive.

And worth the wait.

🧵 Learning Story 006: The Tailor's Tape Measure

A customer watched the tailor work.

He noticed something unusual.

Before making a single cut...

The tailor measured the cloth.

Then measured it again.

Curious, the customer asked,

"How do you always get the size right?"

The tailor smiled.

"I measure twice."

"I cut once."

Then he added,

"Because cloth is expensive."

If you cut it wrongly...

You cannot simply glue it back together.

One careless mistake can waste the entire fabric.

Learning works the same way.

The difference is...

The expensive material isn't cloth.

It's time.

Many students hurry through a chapter because they want to "finish the syllabus."

They read while thinking about the next topic.

They memorize definitions without understanding the ideas behind them.

They skip examples.

Ignore practice questions.

Avoid asking questions because they don't want to "waste time."

Ironically...

That's exactly what wastes the most time.

A lesson you rush through today often becomes tomorrow's biggest obstacle.

You return to it.

Read it again.

Watch another video.

Ask someone to explain it.

Start over.

The twenty minutes you tried to save becomes three extra hours later.

Great learners don't just move fast.

They move carefully.

Before they continue, they ask themselves:

"Can I explain this in my own words?"

"Can I solve one problem without looking at the answer?"

"Can I teach this idea to someone else?"

If the answer is no...

They don't panic.

They simply spend a little more time measuring.

Because understanding before moving on is always cheaper than rebuilding later.

Just like a tailor...

Your goal isn't to finish quickly.

Your goal is to finish correctly.

Measure your understanding.

Then move forward with confidence.

🎯 Today's Learning Challenge

Before you open a new chapter today...

Pause for just five minutes.

Ask yourself:

"Do I really understand yesterday's lesson?"

If not...

Review it.

Explain it aloud.

Solve one question from memory.

Then continue.

Build carefully.

You'll rebuild less.

And the time you invest today will save you hours tomorrow.

👇Discussion Time:

Have you ever rushed through a lesson, only to realize later that you had to start all over again? What happened, and what did you learn from that experience?

🚖 Learning Story #005: The Taxi Driver
A passenger sat in the back seat of a taxi after a long day.

As the driver smoothly turned through narrow streets, busy junctions, and hidden shortcuts, the passenger became curious.

He asked,

"How do you remember every single street in this city?"

The driver smiled in the rear-view mirror.

Then he laughed.

"I don't."

The passenger looked confused.

"You don't?"

The driver shook his head.

"I drive them."

"I've been on these roads thousands of times."

"I've taken different passengers to different places."

"I've made wrong turns."

"I've been stuck in traffic."

"I've discovered shortcuts."

"I didn't memorize the city."

"The city taught itself to me because I kept using it."

That is exactly how learning works.

Many students believe memory comes from reading a textbook five times.

Others highlight every sentence with different colours.

Some rewrite the same notes over and over.

Yet, when it's time for an exam, they struggle to remember.

Why?

Because reading only introduces information.

It doesn't build strong memory.

Imagine opening Google Maps and studying every road in your city for three hours.

Would you suddenly become a great taxi driver?

Of course not.

But after driving those same roads every day for several months...

Your brain begins to recognize patterns.

You know which roads are faster.

You know where traffic builds up.

You know the shortcuts.

Not because you stared at a map...

But because you used the roads.

Learning works exactly the same way.

Reading is the map.

Practice is the journey.

Your brain was designed to remember things it has to use.

When you solve a mathematics problem, your brain strengthens the pathway.

When you explain a science topic to someone else, your understanding becomes clearer.

When you write without looking at your notes, your memory becomes stronger.

When you answer questions instead of rereading, your brain realizes,

"This information is important. Keep it."

This is why active learning always beats passive learning.

Knowledge grows stronger through use.

Not through repeated exposure alone.

The biggest mistake many learners make is believing that seeing something many times is the same as learning it.

It isn't.

Real learning happens when information leaves the page and enters your actions.

Use it.

Test it.

Apply it.

Teach it.

That is how memory becomes lasting.

🎯 Today's Learning Challenge
Think about one thing you learned today.

Don't just close your notebook.

Do one of these before the day ends:

✅ Explain it to someone.

✅ Solve one problem with it.

✅ Write everything you can remember without looking.

✅ Teach it in your own words.

Because knowledge that is used becomes knowledge that stays.

Knowledge that is only read is often forgotten.

Use it before you lose it.

What is one thing you learned today that you're going to use before the day ends?

🏺 Learning Story #004: The Potter's Cracked Pot

Have you ever thrown away a wrong answer...
..without realizing it was trying to teach you something?

Most people do.

That's why they keep making the same mistakes.

Here's a story.

A young student visited a potter's workshop.

The room was quiet except for the soft hum of a spinning wheel.

The potter placed a lump of clay in the center.

His hands moved with confidence.

Slowly...

A beautiful pot began to appear.

The student watched in amazement.

"This is incredible," he whispered.

Then...

Crack.

A thin line appeared on the side of the pot.

The potter immediately stopped.

He lifted the pot from the wheel and placed it with several other broken ones.

The student couldn't believe it.

"You worked so hard on that."

"What a waste."

The old potter smiled.

"Waste?"

He shook his head.

"No."

"I paid for that lesson."

The student looked confused.

The potter picked up the cracked pot.

"This one reminds me that I used too much water."

He pointed to another.

"That one tells me I rushed."

Then another.

"And this one teaches me I didn't apply enough pressure."

The student slowly looked around the workshop.

He noticed something he hadn't seen before.

Those broken pots weren't rubbish.

They were records.

Every crack carried a lesson.

Every failure had made the next pot stronger.

The potter didn't become skilled because he avoided mistakes.

He became skilled because he listened to them.

Most learners do the opposite.

They get one question wrong...

Feel embarrassed...

Erase it...

And hope never to see it again.

But that's like throwing away a map because you don't like the route.

Here's something your brain does that many people don't know.

Your brain learns best when it detects an error.

When you answer a question incorrectly and then discover the correct answer, your brain compares the two.

That comparison strengthens memory.

It creates a stronger pathway than simply reading the correct answer over and over.

That's why correcting your mistakes is often more powerful than rereading your notes.

Think about learning to ride a bicycle.

You wobble.

You adjust.

You wobble again.

You adjust again.

The wobbling isn't slowing down the learning.

The wobbling is the learning.

The same thing happens when you're studying Mathematics.

Learning English.

Speaking a new language.

Playing the keyboard.

Using a computer.

Or mastering any new skill.

Mistakes aren't signs that you're failing.

They're signs that your brain is collecting information.

The real danger isn't making mistakes.

The real danger is making them...

And never asking why.

Great learners become detectives.

Instead of saying,

"I got it wrong."

They ask,

"What fooled me?"

"What step did I miss?"

"What will I do differently next time?"

That's how ordinary people become extraordinary learners.

Not because they fail less.

But because they learn more from every failure.

🎯 Today's Learning Challenge

Think about the last mistake you made while learning.

Don't judge yourself.

Investigate it.

Ask yourself:

"What was this mistake trying to teach me?"

Write down the lesson.

Remember...

A cracked pot is only useless if the potter refuses to learn from the crack.

The same is true for us.
