Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students. Solomon Ortiz It appears that The Bikes College must be doing some things right as we teach some new things these days. We met T., 6 years old, and her parents a few weeks ago when […]
Common sense is not so common. Voltaire It gets extremely difficult to impose imagination and aspiration onto people. It is arduous to emphasise the importance of remaining imaginative while maintaining a helpful and cooperative approach. The teaching is a long process and it takes a lot of patience.

Everyone wants to belong, or be a part of something bigger than themselves… Emily Giffin This world is a strange place- as a pack animals we simply lost the skill of gathering and resolving issues using the advantage of numbers. We turn to solitarity in whatever we do these days- for reason unknown we are unable […]
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Charles R. Swindoll It slowly got to the point when we are doing much more than we ever wanted.

A great accomplishment should never be the end of the road; just a starting point for the next leap forward. Harvey Mackay This very rainy day we were featured in Yorkshire Evening Post following an interview with a columnist Neil Hudson. It made us very proud of what we do and we would like to […]
You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments or publicity.
