About This Quote

As we grow older, we tend to forget the things that have been taught to us. We also tend to forget the things that have been taught to us. As a result, we start seeing the world in a different way. Over time, we become wiser and our experiences start to shape us.

We learn from our mistakes and become stronger from them. Eventually, all that one has learnt will have to be forgotten. In order for us to truly learn from our experiences and grow, we must lose everything that we have known before.

If we try to hold on to everything that we have learned before, then it would only be a waste of time and effort. It is much better to let go of everything in order for us to learn something new in the future.
