Amidst competitions in business, education or even the pressure to keep relationships among friends, we are forced to consume a great amount of information so we are equally as knowledgeable as others. There are times where we may have accumulated information without much precautions, leading to a set of knowledge and beliefs that instead of opening us up, are blocking us from new possibilities. An intriguing question follows, can we self-develop not by adding more information, but by questioning and subtracting information out?

Alvin Toffler, an American writer, once said “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
