Dissecting Quotes #9

        This is the ninth edition of the series "Dissecting Quotes", where I choose a quote and briefly describe what I think the quote means and how to apply it to our everyday lives. I hope the insight a high schooler can provide can help brighten a day or get you thinking.

"Always desire to learn something useful"

- Sophocles

         Desire can be a powerful thing. It can move mountains, and can alter lives forever. If used properly, desire can change the world for the better. If we as humans have the desire to learn, we can use what we learned to not only help others but to help the world. If people desire to profit from learning, they can change their mindset for the positive. We should learn to learn better, as it can help us and others.
