"That which hinders your task is your task." +

+"I think, however, that there isn't any solution to this problem of education +other than to realize that the best teaching can be done only when there is +a direct individual relationship between a student and a good teacher---a +situation in which the student discusses the ideas, thinks about the things, +and talks about the things. It's impossible to learn very much by simply +sitting in a lecture, or even by simply doing problems that are assigned." +
-- Richard Feynman, in his preface to the printed Lectures on Physics +

"For every vision, there is an equal and opposite revision."
