The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop. ↗

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process. ↗

In choosing a hypothesis there is no virtue in being timid. I clearly would have been burned at the stake in another age. ↗
