Summary

This quote suggests that individuals are more likely to improve and grow when they have other examples or role models to learn from. Simply relying on oneself as the only model for improvement can limit personal growth because it restricts the exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences. By observing and emulating the actions of others who have achieved success or overcome challenges, individuals can expand their own understanding, skills, and abilities. Having external models to aspire to can inspire individuals to strive for more and push their own boundaries, resulting in continuous personal improvement.

Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them.
