If you don't study - you shall not pass. This rhetoric, accompanied with Study Skills.
If you are not adapting, a plan to change, then...

Education 3.0
Learning - "anyone can learn from anyone at anytime"

Experiences, possibilities

Flexible opportunities - learning - pushing boundaries and edges
