The thing about teachers is that they can come from unexpected places.

Anyone from a random stranger at the frozen aisle of 99 Speedmart to your Philosophy lecturer in a class can give pearls of wisdom that completely redefine your entire life in an afternoon. Wisdom has its way of finding us through the most unexpected people.

Just like people, history is also a teacher too.

Not the kind that stands in front of whiteboards, but the one that teaches through patterns. Patterns that echo past events, shifting themes and recurring trends. It shows us how the world has changed and how it still remains constant.

By looking back in time, we learn how to move forward by being wiser and more prepared.

History does not necessarily repeat itself but it does rhyme.
