Throw out your conceited opinions, for it is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows.
One of the things that frustrated the teachers mostly is how some students claim to want to be taught but really secretly believe they already know everything.
The reality is that we are all guilty of thinking we know it all, and we all learn more if we could set that attitude aside. As smart or successful as we may be, there is always someone who is smarter, more successful, and wiser than us.
If you want to learn, if you want to improve your life, seeking out teachers, philosophers, and great books is a good start. But this approach will only be effective if you’re humble and ready to let go of opinions you already have .
