Pushing our limits may have been initially unpleasant since as humans we are hesitant to facing the unknown, but long-lastingly it certainly is a rewarding and life-changing experience.

Whereas some educational institutions failed and refused to adapt, others seem to thrive under the novel circumstances. Acceptance of reality is crucial to maintain relevance, not only to recognize the needed change – but also to lead one.

It makes the studying process more effective indeed, creating the ability for everyone to perform their duties at their most convenient times, combining it more easily with some other family or work-related activities.
