The key of learning is to empty ourself!
Before we learn something, if we really want to learn, and to benefit from what a person or mother nature tell us is to behave like what I have learned so far, that is: “What I have learned is a cup full of coffee has to be emptied before one can fill it with a fresh water. Therefore, the only way to learn something is to empty one’s mind first, otherwise nothing can be learned.”
