Meaning of the quote
Technology is advancing very quickly. This means that even after you finish school, you need to keep learning and staying up-to-date with the latest changes. The most important thing is to have a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. This will help you adapt to the rapid changes in technology and continue to be successful.
