About This Quote
If someone reads, he doesn't understand; if he understands, he immediately forgets. There is a saying that "if you read, you understand; if you understand, you forget." Sometimes we read and we don't understand what we read or we remember something we read and we forget it. It's important to keep the information and knowledge in our minds so it will be useful and used by us. Reading doesn't mean understanding.
