    Learn as much as you can about as much as you can

A philosophy I try to live by every day day, and I laugh when people ask why I know so many random things. My Advanced-English teacher in high-school stated there are two types of people in the world: those who know a little about a lot, and those who know a lot about a little. I chose to be the kind who knows a little about a lot, that way I can always learn more.

Thanks for posting this; Tim Minchin is a philosophical and lyrical genius, check out some of his other works if you haven't already!
