I believe in a world in which science is the key for supporting thedevelopment of a happy future for humanity. So, I advocate for such asituation in which scientists would speak louder. If science is silent, there is no way to solve high priority problems at a global level, such as: the gap between developed and undeveloped countries, poverty, limited energy resources, limited food and even drinking water (especially related to the population growth phenomenon), global warming and rapid climatechanges, etc.

In general, people accumulate knowledge gradually over a long period of time. However, there are extraordinary people all around us, who are capable of accumulating impressive amounts of knowledge within a relatively short period of time. Nevertheless, even the greatest genius possesses only a small fraction of all knowledge known by mankind. Finally, the following question arises: how large is all the existing knowledge in comparison to the space of ignorance?

When choosing a profession, a person will have good incentive for personal development by choosing such a profession that represents a personal challenge.

Use two-way communication on oral exams to check the students' knowledge, not their attitudes. Checking attitudes can lead to the slippery area of subjective assessment.

Kids, no matter how big your problems are _ ask your parents for help and advice.

The best advice will come from the person who has no personal interest in the matter.

Telling the truth is less demanding than telling a lie.

We should always respect our teachers, because transforming children into knowledge-oriented young people is a precious and extremely difficult job.

Criticism addressed to a person can only be of benefit if it was said in the right way and at the right time.

It can be accepted that there is a price for man's work, time spent or service done, but never for human dignity.

Every fool has an idea how to change the world. Wise people think about how to improve the world around them.

Ask your friends for help if you need it. Asking for help can be costly if you don't have friends.

You should be aware of fake friends because it is the hardest to be aware of.

Nowadays, using a computer has become a way of life.

Learn always and wherever possible, knowing that you'll never learneverything.

One should learn by considering one's own failures that are a part of life.

Learning continuously is the best way to build one's intellectual capacity.

One may sleep as long as one prefers, but one should know that each hour of excess sleep is an hour lost for learning.
