Claude Bernard quote #29

I was really busy yesterday, so I couldn't write here. I own you one more quote for Thursday, so here is it. :) Sorry I'm late.


It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning. - Claude Bernard

When we learn something we immediately become satisfied and proud of ourselves. That's a fact, a law of nature, we can't control that feeling. I know that when I learn my lessons for school. Let's say I have 40 pages to learn, when I learn first 10 I'm happy and eager to learn some more. But when I learn 20 pages I already become tired so I say "Let it go, it was enough, I already know enough". It helps you to stop learning and it's a really bad reason.

We should learn every day, not just what you have to learn for school and a good grade. Read a book, learn from life lessons. It will help you to get through your life much easier and without many impediments. When we say "I already know enough, I have nothing to learn" you just persuade your mind to think like that and to stop learning. But no, there's always something new to learn. It doesn't matter if that's a new dish you're planning to cook or you want to learn to speak another language. jJust learn. Be educated. That's it. Basically, I told you what I think about this and I hope you'll accept mine thinking.
