Pearls of Wisdom Knowledge: 1. Life is too short for you to learn all that attracts you, so learn only that what inspires you. 2. Knowledge is power, whoever finds it overcomes by it, and whoever does not find it is overcome. 3. There are two kinds of knowledge: what is naturally absorbed, and what you hear about - and what you hear about will be of no use to you if it is not naturally absorbed. IMAM ALI (A.S).
