Food for Thought

Spare a few moments to ponder on this.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

Literacy is more than decoding words and stringing together sentences. It is even more than comprehending those sentences, forming them into a meaningful narrative and reaching personal conclusions. Literacy is understanding the variety of forces that mould our lives. It is seeing these not as impersonal and unapproachable influences, but as factors we can understand and alter, if not fully control. We have the power over our economic, political and social situation. We can change our lives and our communities. We can choose our goals and work toward achieving them. All these forces are intricately tied to the power of the written word. - Unknown
