Why study
I was in Swindon a couple of weeks ago visiting my elderly parents. They took me off for a meal with one of their equally aged friends.
I went through the usual difficulties of trying to explain to her what I actually do for a living (not sure myself really).
And then she presented me with a fridge magnet (yes, that is not a type).
The fridge magnet is entitled ‘Why Study?’
And the text runs:
‘The more I study
The more I know
The more I know
The more I forget
The more I forget
The less I know
So why study?
Sums up how I feel about formal learning sometimes.
