“The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, teachers or experts can make it harder for people to learn because they might seem too strict or controlling. For example, imagine a student in a classroom who has a lot of questions and ideas. If the teacher insists that there is only one right way to do things, the student might feel discouraged from thinking creatively or exploring new ideas. This can make learning feel less exciting and more like following orders. People often learn best when they feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and find their own understanding, rather than just obeying someone else's rules. To apply this in life, both teachers and learners should focus on creating an open and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their interests. This helps foster true understanding and growth.
