Education Quote by Edward W. Robertson
““When it comes to learning, most people cripple themselves by running to their teachers for help the instant things get hard. Yet if you train yourself right, you can reason your way forward far more often than you'd think, using far less hard knowledge and evidence than you'd believe possible. Getting good at that process is vital. If you try to rely on me for all your answers, you're never going to reach them.””
