Reading Books

In an article entitled “The new social discourse”, the German «Spiegel Online» Magazine writes on October 17:

The most important resource of the twentyfirst century, politicians say, is education. How fatally wrong: The most important resource, being the most scarcely one, is willpower.

In a nutshell, the article argues that transformation and change will happen not through education alone.

So how do we reach for the stars now?
