“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
~ Benjamin Franklin
“Sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. That is only valid for information sharing. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning processes.”
~ Peter Senge
