Once when walking around the city, Solon Of Athens stumbled upon a musician who was singing a poem. Instead of just passing through, the great statesman sat down with the musician and asked him to teach it to him. Afterwards when asked by one of the onlookers as to why should the great Solon waste any time on a poem, he replied with the following: ἵνα μαθὼν αὐτὸ ἀποθάνω, "So that I may learn it before I die."

The above words describe my ever ending passion for learning in a terse and equitable way.
