Quotes to ponder:

"Reading isn’t enough. You need to remember what you read if you want to make a difference in your life."

"Your brain needs to process, connect, and repeat information before it becomes part of your thinking."

"When you learn something new, it doesn’t stick until you use it, reflect on it, and tie it to what you already know."
