About This Quote
It is important for us to understand the basic principles of the world around us. It is something so common but so simple that we don't even notice it happening all around us. When we step out of the classroom and go out into the real world, our first instinct is to act like an adult. We act like we know what we're doing.
We act like we don't need help. But, if you want to learn how to become a better person, then you must learn to be humble. You need to learn how to be open-minded enough to listen and that you should always understand what the person who is teaching you is saying.
