There is an old story about a student who traveled a great distance to meet with a re-nowned master. When he arrived, the wizened old man graciously invited him inside for a cup of tea. As they sat, sipping, the old man began to speak, but before he could get very far the young student cut him off, and began to explain what he had learned. The master tried again, and again, the student cut him off, explaining what he already knew. No matter how the master tried to get through to him, the young student was so puffed up with his pride in his own knowledge that he was not really listening.
