CONTINUE TO STUDY AND TO LEARN
CONTINUE TO STUDY AND LEARN
Studying a part of a thing is good, but studying the whole of a thing is best.
Of course, one must start some place, at some part. Then, slowly, and gradually one works one's way up until one has attained a view of the whole; if not a grasp of the whole.
"One's reach ever exceeds one's grasp," someone once truly said.
Or as Dr. Martin Luther King famously said, in substance, on the eve of his apotheosis, his last night on earth:
"But, He has allowed me to look over and to see the promised land. I may not get there with you. But, We, as a people, will get to the promised land. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
Apostle Paul has said, in substance, "we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be done away." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…
These teachings are generally true for anything. Black history month 2015 is ending soon. Keep on studying world history of which it is a very vital part.
One can not learn addition and not learn subtraction nor multiplication and not learn division. Neither can one learn fractions without learning integers; or vice versa. Verily, the part implicates the whole and the whole contains the part. Continue to learn!
