About this Quote

This quote by Mike Tyson is a reminder that knowledge is power, but it is insufficient to simply know how to check out. It is very important to be able to translate and understand what is being read. Checking out is a skill that can open up a world of knowledge, but without the capability to analyze and understand what is being read, that knowledge is useless. Understanding how to translate what is reading is essential in order to acquire insight and understanding. Without this capability, the understanding gained from reading can be hazardous, as it can lead to misinterpretations and misconceptions. Therefore, it is essential to not only understand how to read, but also how to analyze what is being read.
