Learning Continuously

What is humility- humbleness; a modest view of one's importance If one is humble enough to learn, there is always something to learn

Personally, I have a pretty good idea about where my "level" of intelligence is, but i always try to go beyond it. I know that it is possible to break through that barrier, but it wont help if all i did was shut myself inside. As a guy, there is always a taste of male ego in my body-- oh, i know it, trust me-- and when i encounter problems, even problems i know that i might not have the skills required to solve, i will always try to find the solution myself. Now, this may seem like a positive quality: attempting to solve the problem, however, it becomes no good at all, when one is completely stuck but desires no help. Help is what takes one forward, and it is very true especially in a school environment. On our second unit of chemistry, Mrs. Knowles and our class we're just talking about electrons, I have a vague memory about learning this topic and so i thought I knew it. It turns out that i actually have alot of questions about the topic, but I was not shy to ask. First i asked my great study partner Robert, and he explained it to me in a quite simple and abridged way, since he already knows it. I tried looking at the problem again, but i still didnt quite get the concept about subshells and energy shells. So i sought for help once again, this time by a professional. Im not saying Rob is a bad person, but Mrs. Knowles is "taught" how to teach. After a short conversation with her, I felt confident on solving the questions. Asking questions is essential for the learning process; if i never asked for the answer, I could've failed the unit test. But as you can see, seeking for help is rewarding, because i still have a good grade in this class.
