Belief gets in the way of learning.

Summary

By being open-minded and willing to reevaluate our beliefs, we can cultivate an environment conducive to learning and growth. It means being willing to let go of our assumptions and biases, allowing us to explore new perspectives and expand our understanding.

We have all seen with a sense of nausea the abject, squalid, shameless avowal made in the Oxford Union. We are told that we ought not to treat it seriously. The Times talked of the childrens hour. I disagree. It is a very disquieting and disgusting symptom. One can almost feel the curl of contempt upon the lips of the manhood of Germany, Italy, and France when they read the message sent out by Oxford University in the name of Young England. Let them be assured that it is not the last word. But before they blame, as blame they should, these callow ill-tutored youths, they must be sure that they have not been set a bad example by people much older and much higher up.

Sir Winston Churchill
