Dear Thomas:


"IV the most part, every man is brought up in his father's craft. They are naturally inclined II it; but if a youth wants II learn another, he is adopted by a family in the occupation he wants II learn. After he has learned one craft, wants II learn still another, he is permitted to do so."


See Thomas, even your namesake Sir Thomas More was promoting continuous learning of crafts ion the XVIth Century. His book came out after his death by beheading at the order of King Henry the VIIIth. But the thought process is quite well orchestrated, CDL (450) plus years later & I totally agree with Sir Thomas's wise words in context II the students of today.


Tommy Boy,


Rory
