“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:

Mark Twain's words highlight the difference between formal schooling and real-world learning. Just because you go to school and follow a set curriculum doesn't mean you stop learning from your life experiences. Let's use Thomas Edison as an example. He didn't excel in traditional school, yet he became one of the greatest inventors. Edison learned a lot from experimenting in his own ways, exploring things that interested him outside the classroom. The main point is, don’t limit your learning to just what you are taught in school. Be curious, explore your interests, and learn from everything around you. If you like fixing things, take apart an old clock to see how it works. If you love stories, read books beyond your school assignments. This way, you can gain valuable knowledge that isn’t always found in textbooks.
