Knower vs Learner

Have you ever noticed the difference between a knower and a learner?

A knower assumes they know it all, but a learner is eager to discover more. A knower will say, for instance, “Oh I know this already.” However, a learner will say, “May be I know this already, but let me see if there is something new for me to learn.” A Knower seizes their path of learning, while a learner is open to anything new.

How many times have you thought “I’ve already read this book, there’s nothing new to discover”? But have you ever read it a second or third time and realized there were new insights waiting for you? That’s the magic of revisiting something you already know – you’ll always find more than you expected!

Learning is a never-ending process, and even the smallest piece of knowledge can make a big difference. Whether it’s a line or a paragraph, every read or hearsay can teach us something new. It could be a new word or a fresh perspective. So keep your eyes and ears open and stay curious!

Ever heard the phrase “Never stop learning”? Well, it’s true! Even if you think you know everything about a subject, don’t be too quick to dismiss it. There’s always something new to discover. So, keep an open mind and approach every day as an opportunity to learn. You never know what insights or perspectives you will get. 

We all have room to grow and learn. Remember, “Learners also know, but they know a little less than they should know.” Also they always keep those “knowledge windows” open. So step through and find your next level of understanding!
