"We Learn...
10 percent of what we read,
20 percent of what we hear,
30 percent of what we see,
50 percent of what we see and hear,
70 percent of what we discuss,
80 percent of what we experience,
95 percent of what we teach others.

[Quote No.64804] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The Talmud (Airuvin 54b) relates that Rabbi Praida had to repeat each lesson to a certain student four hundred times until the student understood it. This is usually cited as an example of the patience needed to be a teacher. We can also see the courage and perseverance of the student. Most people would give up after twenty or thirty repetitions and say they lack the necessary intelligence to comprehend the subject. This student realized he would eventually understand if he just heard each point enough times. When you say you cannot understand something, how many times did you try before you reached your conclusion? We have tremendous ability to understand almost anything if we have the patience to hear the ideas enough times. Pride gets in the way, and so does frustration. But a truth seeker does not worry about what others might think and keeps his mind on the goal." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Gateway to Happiness', p.384.

[Quote No.64857] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment!
The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little coarse,
and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled
in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

[Quote No.64884] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, etc., and the need for skepticism:] Nullius in verba [Latin for 'on the word of no one' or 'take nobody's word for it'. The Royal Society website explains the motto thus: 'It is an expression of the determination of Fellows to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment.']" - Royal Society motto
John Evelyn and other fellows of the Royal Society chose the motto soon after the founding of the Society. The society introduced the world's first journal exclusively devoted to science in 1665, 'Philosophical Transactions', and in so doing originated the peer review process now widespread in scientific journals. Its founding editor was Henry Oldenburg, the society's first secretary.

[Quote No.64887] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[The importance of skepticism:] Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Buddha

"[Intention, Association, Impression and Repetition are the mothers of understanding, skill and memory: neuroplasticity - 'neurons that fire together wire together':] As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau

[Quote No.65139] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[The importance of doubt and skepticism in the search for Truth:] This freedom to doubt is an important matter in the sciences and, I believe, in other fields. It was born of a struggle. It was a struggle to be permitted to doubt, to be unsure. And I do not want us to forget the importance of the struggle and, by default, to let the thing fall away. I feel a responsibility as a scientist who knows the great value of a satisfactory philosophy of ignorance, and the progress made possible by such a philosophy, progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought. I feel a responsibility to proclaim the value of this freedom and to teach that doubt is not to be feared, but that it is to be welcomed as the possibility of a new potential for human beings. If you know that you are not sure, you have a chance to improve the situation. I want to demand this freedom for future generations." - Richard Feynman
