It's easier to fool people, than to convince them they have been fooled.

Ah Mark Twain, if only you were alive today and we could smoke a bowl.

I think the three hardest words one can say is " I don't know ".

So we are meant to pretend that we know everything?

No, but it certainly seems that way these days, at least to me. I really only know enough to know how little I really know.

I am gullible.

lol, always said the very same thing.

I am smart enough to know how dumb I really am!

At least if you admit it, you can work on fixing it.

That being said, I was thinking the other day, it's possible to know something and not know it.

I am finding three harder words "I was wrong", I think a lot of voters refuse to believe they were duped.

I think you can put your mind in a state of detachment.

And in that state you seem to push knowledge that is less important to the back of your mind.

So sometimes it is almost as if you have to re-learn something you already know.

Least that is how I feel come Monday morning at work.

I can understand that.

I was thinking more how somebody can be under the impression they don't understand something like a mathematical concept until somebody explains it to them in a way that makes them realize they understood it quite well, like the concept of integration and the old " guess how many jellybeans are in this jar to win a prize " problem.

I've noticed that good teachers don't only teach us new things, they show us we already knew, we just didn't think we knew.

They unlock your mind from those that have tried so hard to control it.

I think a great teacher teaches you how not to be scared, and the rest you learn yourself.
