Greek philosopher Plato

The Greek philosopher Plato had many scholars come every day. All people used to leave only after getting some knowledge from them.  But Plato never considered himself knowledgeable. Plato believed that humans can never be knowledgeable, because humans always learn.

One day a friend of Plato said to him, "You have scholars from all over the world come in search of knowledge and people who talk to you consider their life blessed, but I have not understood one thing about you till date.  . "

On this Plato said to his friend, "What did you not understand. Tell me."

Friend said to Plato, "You yourself are very learned and knowledgeable, but I have seen, you are ready to take knowledge from others all the time. You are ready to learn even from a normal person. You are aware of this  Don't mind. "  What do you need to learn  Are you pretending to learn from people to keep them happy?  "

Hearing this, Plato started laughing loudly.  The friend asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Plato said, "A person cannot learn anything in his life. There is always something incomplete and then each person has something that the other person does not have. So each person should keep learning from everyone  . Everything is not found in books, because there is so much that is not written. "

To say that we should keep learning from others.  Doing this enhances our personaity.  So we should always keep learning.
