Quote by Paulo Coelho

Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.

Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning

Summary

This quote implies that teaching serves as a way to show individuals what is achievable, while learning requires personal initiative to transform that possibility into reality. Teaching merely presents the knowledge or skills, providing an example of what can be done. However, true learning occurs when one actively engages with the material, comprehends it, and applies it to their own life. It emphasizes that learning is a process of self-discovery, where individuals take ownership and responsibility for acquiring and mastering new information or abilities.

[...] endless action and reaction. Those beautifully rounded pebbles which you gather on the sand and which you hold in your hand and marvel at their exceeding smoothness, were chiseled into their varies and graceful forms by the ceaseless action of countless waves. Nature is herself a great worker and never tolerates, without certain rebuke, any contradiction to her wise example. Inaction is followed by stagnation. Stagnation is followed by pestilence and pestilence is followed by death.

The Volunteer AT dawn, he said, I bid them all farewell,To go where bugles call and rifles gleam.And with the restless thought asleep he fell,And glided into dream.A great hot plain from sea to mountain spread, -Through it a level river slowly drawn:He moved with a vast crowd, and at its headStreamed banners like the dawn.There came a blinding flash, a deafening roar,And dissonant cries of triumph and dismay;Blood trickled down the river's reedy shore,And with the dead he lay.The morn broke in upon his solemn dream,And still, with steady pulse and deepening eye,Where bugles call, he said, and rifles gleam,I follow, though I die!
