I always liked the notion of tabula rasa -- especially as it applies to the Student Mind, ready for learning; a blank sheet of paper ready for Words of Wisdom to be written upon them.

The beautiful thing is that we ALL have the capacity to engage our Student Mind whenever we so choose.

So what is your Student Mind ready to learn today? What Words of Wisdom might you be writing on your blank sheet of paper today?

For that matter, what Words of Wisdom did you write there yesterday?
