“Sapere Aude!” (Dare to Know!), a simple yet powerful Latin mantra remembered by James, which reflects his belief that learning is not just about grades, it is about making sense of the world. Learning should be fun and rewarding as we open our eyes to an ever-expanding field of knowledge, and we apply it to make our lives better. Remembering his days in high school, it took him some time to discover the fun in learning, as he slowly figured out his favourite subjects.
He wants to share this journey with more young people so that they can find their own passion in knowledge, to learn not for grades, but for their own curiosity.
Currently studying undergraduate psychology and philosophy at the University of Sydney, James aspires to make it his life mission to devise modern solutions for modern problems, using modern understanding of human behaviour and thinking patterns.
