Thought of the Day :

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn
– Alvin Toffle

Goodmorning all :)

between those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn?

Here are better thoughts in my opinion:

1. If you cheat some one today, tomorrow there is very big chance that others will cheat you.

try this website:

here some from a web site, please say which one you like and agree on:

A bite from a lion is better the look of envy.

2. A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.

3. A chameleon does not leave one tree until he is sure of another.

4. A change is as good as a rest.

5. A debacle demolishes the will.

6. A foolish man may be known by six things: Anger without cause, speech without profit, change without progress, inquiry without object, putting trust in a stranger, and mistaking foes for friends.

7. A friend advises in his interest, not yours.

8. A god-given beauty needs no beautician.

9. A good advice is part of the Religion..

10. A horse can trip.

Agree with Brit 100%... good to read, never to be implemented... need to pause and ponder.. In my case I may be learning but there is a conflict between unlearning and relearning...

w/o defending Alvin Toffle, IMO- if we don't unlearn, we will end up being garbage bin/junk yard...

brit, right, it's all about being open minded..

..and since majority doesn't follow it, majority is suffering too ......

Majority just read and apperciate Quotes and Sayings without implementing.

Too much psycho babble nowadays.

Learning, unlearning, relearning...

All it means is that one should keep an open mind on things.

How many of us actually do that ?

Brit, some of them, yes, We do, consciously or unconsciously, IMO

On a serious note.. its great to have these "thoughts", but do they really men much and do we really take heed of them.

IMO - We don't..

A person who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn = is an illiterate (very true). I would rather rate a graduate who inteferes my conversation saying not "excuse me"

Fathima..so true...yes pride and arrogance are the main hindrance for the learning process...Have a good day..:)

A true saying..Mashallah. And many times what stops people from the process of unlearning and relearning is nothing but arrogance and pride. Something to be feared and avoided! TFS
