As a physician, we are taught that learning and education never stop - they are lifelong. I think education comes in various forms: formal, informal, and most importantly, experiential.

I sell a lot of classic black sneakers made from every material because everyone loves black, and if you mix and match material, you get an opera.

Giuseppe Zanotti
