Unit 5 training, the value of mbAs

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do ”. Goethe

“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." John Powell

“It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trainedElizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Television documentary, BBC1, 6 Feb. 1992.

“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and / some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing”. Rung Fu Tzu (Confucius)

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
