“Education is like fishing, just because you have a fishing rod in your hand doesn’t mean you know how to fish. Therefore, I can do one of two things, I can let you watch me fish, and we can eat what I have caught that night and you’ll be set for that night or I can take the time to teach you how to actually fish and then you will be able to eat every night. I teach people how to fish” – Alan Hilburg president and CEO of Hilburg Associations.
