    The document discusses Plato's views on learning and education. Plato argues that the ability to learn is inherent in every person's soul, but that turning towards knowledge requires fully engaging one's mind and perspectives, just as turning one's whole body is needed to shift from looking at darkness to light. He also stresses the importance of ongoing self-improvement through effort and cultivation in both this life and the next to achieve prosperity.

    But our argument indicates that the power of learning inheres in everyones soul.

    Its
    as if we couldnt turn our eye from the dark to the bright without turning our whole
    body around .

    Plato
    Learning impacts everyone. An education is the most
    powerful investment and in order to properly
    adhere to it, one must keep an open mind
    and leave their cave.

    Apply yourself both now and in the next life . Without eff ort , you cannot be
    prosperous . Through the land be good , you cannot have an abundant crop without
    cultivation . - Plato
