A Little Learning Is a Dangerous Thing

 

An inexpert person cannot do anything perfectly. Rather he brings about danger and destruction. So, it is a fact that one who learns a little about any art or subject cannot be successful in doing any work related to that subject. But in consequence, he creates a terrible and horrible situation. It can be understood clearly by the reference from the story “The Magician”. In this story, a boy named Hans learned a little about magic and tried to apply it. Then he created a terrible situation. He was about to wash away himself and the valuable books and things of the library of a famous magician Frankel who wanted to teach him a lesson that a little learning is a dangerous thing. He hit upon a plan. His plan worked well. At last, Hans understood that a little learning is a dangerous thing. Then Frankel saved his life. Similarly, if a driver begins to drive a vehicle without proper training, he will surely cause death and destruction. Therefore, it is clear to us that little learning is a dangerous thing. We should not start doing anything without being capable to do it without sufficient knowledge.
