About this Quote

This quote by Eric Hoffer speaks with the significance of being open to learning and adjusting to alter. In a time of extreme change, those who are willing to learn and grow are the ones who will have the ability to survive and thrive in the future. Those who are stuck in their methods and decline to find out and adapt will discover themselves unable to cope with the altering world around them. The quote also implies that the discovered, those who have actually currently acquired knowledge, may find themselves ill-equipped to manage the new world. This is because the knowledge they have actually obtained may no longer be relevant or applicable in the new world. For that reason, it is essential to remain available to learning and adapting to alter in order to be able to endure and thrive in the future.
