"Le véritable apprentissage survient lorsque l'esprit de compétition a cessé"
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Simplified Meaning:
Genuine learning happens when we stop trying to outdo others. Imagine two kids in school. One is always thinking about getting higher grades than the other, while the other just loves learning new things. The first child might get good grades but feels stressed and anxious. The second child enjoys the process of gaining knowledge and tends to remember things better because he's focused on the joy of learning. When we aren’t worried about winning or being the best, our minds are more open to understanding new concepts deeply. By focusing less on competition and more on personal growth, we allow ourselves to truly absorb and appreciate what we learn. So next time, let's try to enjoy the journey of learning itself, rather than comparing ourselves to others.
