“We can study for lifetime: Yes i know that I'm too old for this. Going back to school at my age? For what? Anyone who thinks so is wrong. "Learning is something that has no end. At any time of life we can study and learn new things. It's something that does not depend on age. And the learning has several purposes: to increase the cultural baggage, improve professional opportunities and even make an old dream.”

“Why a child needs a picture book?
Experts explain why the illustration is so important in the narrative and give tips on how to choose a picture book for your children.
By turning an idea into something reality, illustrated book further fuels the child’s fantasy. Recent research on teaching concluded that the best performing students are not the ones who read the classics. The important thing is to allow children access to a variety of reading styles and the pleasure of choosing what they want to read.”

“We need to teach the next generation of children from the first day, they are responsible for their lives. The greatest gift of the human species. We can make our choices based on love or fear.”

“1) Grandmothers, according to children:
- A grandmother is a woman who has no children, so she like the children of others.
- Grandmothers have nothing to do, except being there.
- When they lead us to walk, walk slowly and not trample the beautiful flowers or caterpillars.
- Never say, "Hurry up!".
- Usually they are fat, but still manage to squeeze in their shoes.
- They always know what we want, another slice of cake or a larger chocolate.
- Grandmothers wear glasses and sometimes even manage to take the teeth.
- When they tell us stories, never jump bits and never bother to tell the same story several times.
- Grandmothers are the only great people who always have time.
- They are not as weak as they say, in spite of die more often than we do.
- Everyone must do his best to have a grandmother, especially if you have no TV.”
