"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Albert Einstein

What does Dr. Einstein mean by this? Basically ask your own questions and find your own answers in every aspect of your life. Learning is a lifelong process that doesn't end when you are done with school. This is a major theme in the "Letters To Jara" series.
