Proverb

The following was printed on a Stanford year-in-review DVD that crossed my desk today. It seemed quite profound and worth sharing:

If you are planning for a year, sow rice;
If you are planning for a decade, plant trees;
If you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.
        — Chinese proverb

I've just watched the DVD. These people really have the right idea about how technology can and should be used in education, both at the University adn school levels. We can learn a lot from them. I'll have to make sure the DVD ends up at the right sort of place within the 'varsity.
