Why study

This fridge magnet contains nuggets of truth

I was in Swindon a couple of weeks ago visiting my elderly parents. They took me off for a meal with one of their equally aged friends.

I went through the usual difficulties of trying to explain to her what I actually do for a living (not sure myself really).

And then she presented me with a fridge magnet (yes, that is not a type).

The fridge magnet is entitled 'Why Study?'

And the text runs:

'The more I study
The more I know

The more I know
The more I forget

The more I forget
The less I know

So why study?

Sums up how I feel about formal learning sometimes.
