PAGAPADAYUNON...
“To know and not to do, is really not to know.

To learn and not to do is not to learn.

In other words, to understand something but not

apply it is really not to understand it.

It is only in the doing, and the applying, that

knowledge and understanding are internalized.”
- Stephen Covey -
