Have you ever heard the proverb about how you grow a tree for only ten years, but you have to grow men over a hundred?

I guess not then. In English it means that human progress is tied with education and that you have to nurture those skills and talents over time for the betterment of everyone. Which is why I've brought myself here.

There is a time to say goodbye to the military and lead a quieter life, like others I know. Because you can't stay in that kind of environment forever. I loved studying when I was in university and returning the favour is probably the best to do. Plus there will be new people to meet and new technologies to develop. It's a really conducive atmosphere to learning, collaboration - oh.

Really, there's nothing for me to lose. I like having the free time too. Makes it easier to catch up on reading.

I get what you mean but doesn't it take longer then ten years for a tree to grow?

You're from the military? I'm not a soldier but my Dad's part of my planet's military and I've worked with them before!

My name's Slippy, it's nice to meet you.

As I've said to someone before... trees are pretty self sustaining. Minds, not so much so since you constantly have to cultivate them.

I'm not a soldier myself, I'm what you'd call a member of the support team. Well, I was a commanding officer but still...

It's nice to meet you too Slippy! Are you a student in this school?
