About This Quote

Learning isn’t acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired. This is one of the most common quotes in the academic world. When you learn something, in order for it to be considered knowledge, you have to remember it in order to have it at your fingertips. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use your “new” knowledge when needed. However, if you are someone who can remember everything you learn in school, this is not a good quote for you!
