USE YOUR OWN WORDS

USE YOUR OWN WORDS I have noticed in reading EUCLID's ELEMENTS, that he always restates the problem, or proposition, in his own words, before endeavoring to solve, prove it, to demonstrate it. There is a valuable lesson here. It is a lesson I had to learn in law school and afterwards. Articulate in your own language before commencing! If you cannot articulate it in your own words, whatever it my be, then you do not understand it, yourself. "If you can't explain it to a six year old, then you don't understand it yourself." Albert Einstein.
