Quote by George Bernard Shaw

You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you have lost something.

You have learned something. That always feels at first as if

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of learning can initially feel like a loss or sacrifice. When we acquire new knowledge or grow in understanding, it often requires letting go of old beliefs or familiar ways of thinking. This can create a temporary sense of confusion or discomfort, making it seem as though something has been taken away from us. However, the quote emphasizes that this feeling is a normal part of learning and growth, as ultimately, gaining new knowledge enriches our lives and expands our horizons.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2.

Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
