About This Quote
Getting an education is an awfully wearing process! The idea of learning something new is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to us. If you are learning something new, it will be a lot more painful than learning something that you already know. There are certain things that are impossible to master without putting in the effort to learn it. It’s not that learning something new is impossible, it just doesn’t come naturally. The problem with acquiring knowledge is that it can be difficult to retain it for very long period of time.
