"If we continue to do today what we did yesterday, we will not be relevant much longer". One of the best quotes I have ever been told by a University Professor (Dr. D. Brown). That's why it is important to invest in our knowledge so that we can continue to learn and grow as professionals, which in turn, helps our employers.
