How to Learn

[90 words]

Some never listen to any speaker or read any book not already known to agree with most of his or her preferences and prejudices. Minds already made up seek no new or differing facts. However, we grow and learn by being exposed to new thoughts and different thinkers. Truth adequately understood has nothing to fear from exposure to error. It often happens that people who are mistaken about some things have much to teach us about other important things.
