283 - "Knowledge is nothing unless it is shared" - John Wooden

From page 7 of 'A Game Plan For Life'  "We all share that same responsibility because each of us has gained a different perspective from our individual circum-stances. Knowledge is nothing unless it is shared. I know that knowledge for knowledge's sake is a wonderful ideal, but in re-alit, it is the transmission of understanding that is the very basis of civilization. It's what allows human progress to move forward. If we dont pass on what we've gained, we are halting the upward reach of society, and we are denying everything that came before us that enabled us the luxury of learning those lessons we refuse to share. As an old saying goes, "We stand on the shoulders of giants." It is our responsibility to make our shoulders available for the next generation's climb."
