Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 21 Jan '09

“Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.”
My Thoughts:
When I read this Quote, I remember my English Teacher, Prof. Anthony. He used to tell us about his experiences about teachers with horrible English, who he claims have been teaching English for more that 10 years!

While telling this, the point Prof. Anthony wanted to make was that when these teachers said they had 10 years of experience, they actually meant they had effectively 2 years of experience and for the rest 8 years they repeated the same thing they had learned for the first 2 years. So people are proportional to what they have learned from their experience.
