Ivan, Ivan, Ivan... A degree is just a piece of parchment, nothing
more. It is your brain that is the treasure. All the piece of parchment
says, is that you have done something. Sure, to some, it seems a badge.
But all the degrees in the world will not make YOU the capable, curious,
and wonderful person that you are. It does not change who you are, only
what you are initially perceived to be capable of. Failing expectations
it casts, or exceeding them is up to you. It is YOU, who persuades people
of whom you are and what you can do; it is YOU who invents the world anew
around yourself. Or who doesn't.
There is nothing as strong as the force of Character, save the force
of a rare idea who's time has come.
