The famous writer and philosopher, Sir Francis Bacon, once said, “Knowledge is power.” What he forgot to mention is that the key to unlocking this power is the mastery of effective study skills. Learning isn’t confined to the four walls of a classroom or a period of one’s life. Learning is a lifelong endeavor, a perpetual journey of growth and self-improvement. The fuel to this endless journey is the mastery of effective study skills.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon
