"مطالعه تنها مواد دانش را به ذهن می آورد؛ این تفکر است که آنچه را خواندهایم مال خودمان میکند."
— John Locke
Simplified Meaning:
When you read, you gather information like facts, stories, and ideas, but simply reading isn't enough to truly understand and make that knowledge your own. It's like collecting ingredients for a recipe, reading is just gathering the ingredients. Thinking, or reflecting on what you've read, is like mixing those ingredients and cooking something with them. For instance, if you read about history, you need to think about how the events are connected and what they mean to really learn from them. By thinking, you relate the information to your own experiences and ideas, which helps you remember and use it better. So, if you want to truly benefit from what you read, take time to think about it, ask yourself questions, and try to understand it deeply.
