Reflection
"Teach me to walk the soft Earth, a relative to all that live. Give me the strength to understand and the eyes to see. Help me, for without you I am nothing."

"Any piece of knowledge which the pupil has himself acquired - any problem which he has himself solved, becomes, by virtue of the conquest, much more thoroughly his than it could else be."
I think this quote is saying that if one teaches himself and learns through self realization then anything done with this knowledge aquired is his own doing.
With this quotation I think Herbert Spencer was trying to say that anything someone has learned or any problem they have solved is an excellent achievement. So, if you learn something and expand your thinking you'll achieve greater things because you will have learned something new.
I agree. There's a difference between someone just telling you the answer and you finding it out yourself. When you're simply told, you didn't learn the entire process of the answer, so in the end the answer is really of no value. But when you figure it all out yourself, it is truly yours; you know everything about it.
i think this quote by herbert spencer means that every peice of information you aquire or solve in life, is used to help or guide you in life, so that you can be successful with the things you learn.
Knowledge that you normally take in from TV or a book or the Internet usually doesn't stay with you. It goes in one ear out the other, hense you've solved it. Though's things you read about or see on TV that you don't solve stick with you and are not knowledge to you until you can figure it out for yourself.
I believe this quote means that when one attains their own knowledge it has a greater value in achievement and comprehension, opposed to knowledge recieved from another being.

I think the quote means anything you've learned and put into action, in turn, becomes an accomplishment.

i like this quote

This means that if you find something out for yourself it is much more valuable than if it were told to you.
I think that this quotation provides people with much to ponder.
