Brandan Roberston…for exploring beyond the boundaries that I had been taught to stay within.
About This Quote
The purpose of education is to teach the mind to think beyond the boundaries it is currently confined within. Our school system is designed to keep us from thinking too far from how things really are. In fact, if you do your best to stay within the boundaries set by your teachers, you can be sure they will change those boundaries in order to keep you from exploring beyond them. This quote says that the only way to learn enough to become a master is to do so by going further than what was previously taught, for if we stay within the bounds of what is taught, we will never know what is there for us to discover.
