To look is one thing, to see what you look at is another, to understand what you see is a third, to learn from what you understand is still something else, but to act on what you learn is all that really matters.

Key always remembered that, and that's why he was able to be where he is today. Key's steps stopped briefly in front of the big building, he sighed to get rid of his nervousness.
