DESCRIPTION

If we learn concepts without understanding the meaning, then slowly, along the way, we lose the ability to think creative.

Learn concepts 7. without understanding 8. the meaning. 9. They have to learn 10. what others think isimportant. 11. And slowly along the way, 12. they lose the ability 13. to think creative, 14. to be original. 15. It is like a box 16. that is filled withbottles of water, 17. thinking it is full, 18. while keeping the water separate. 19.
