Readers of my blog know that I'm a big fan of quotes. Here are two great ones:

*“If I read a book that cost me $20 and I get one good idea, I’ve gotten one of the greatest bargains of all time.”*

–Tom Peters

*“The difference between where you are today and where you’ll be five years from now will be found in the quality of books you’ve read.”*

–Jim Rohn

I couldn't agree more. Autodidacts (those who teach themselves) have always fascinated me and I like to consider myself one. The amazing thing about our world is that you can always keep learning, whether you're in school or not.

So, what's stopping you?
