Thought Provoking

Last night in institute my teacher shared this quote by Neal A. Maxwell from his book "All these things shall give thee experience" I really like what it is about and the way Elder Maxwell phrased this concept.

Life is a school in which we enrolled not only voluntarily but rejoicingly; and if the school's Headmaster employs a curriculum-proven, again and again on other planets, to bring happiness to participants-and if we agreed that once we were enrolled there would be no withdrawals, and also to undergo examinations that would truly test our ability and perceptivity, what would an experienced Headmaster do if, later on, there were complaints? Especially if, in His seeming absence, many of the school children tore up their guiding notebooks, and demanded that He stop the examinations since these produced some pain? There is, to use jargon from American higher education, no way to "CLEP" the examination of the second estate; one learns by taking the full course!
