I choose what to learn

Sir Arthur Conan creator of the legendary Deutsche investigative novel, "Sher lock Holmes," known throughout the world in A Study in Scarlet, he wrote to Sher lock Holmes said.

"I think a person's brain originally is like a storage room must be like me, you put your furniture on your own. Fools will grab the things that he put into it. Thus, the knowledge that may be beneficial to the player he was knocked out. Or mixed with other waste, and thus he can not take it out for use. But for the smart people. He will choose what to put into their brains carefully. And to keep it, but what is the benefit of his work only. He kept it a lot. And well organized. "

The thirst for learning is not always the smartest students. A wise man knows that he should learn some. But fools will learn everything and that some may not be necessary, so we should know that anything worth learning. And to organize what they learn is how not to be forgotten. But can it be used in times of need.

However, we should not assume that this matter should not be learned. However, it should ask ourselves is, in a 2-way back to us .... We should learn about the what, why, when there were clashes came ... we should ask ourselves. We should learn this or not. Will bring benefits to our lives. Both in the short term, we should take the time to learn it. Or to learn to be worth more than others.
