Then I realized: He never learned one day in Yeshiva. So he is somewhat adept reading and translating words into English. But he was never trained in how to think and analyze a text. That is what you get in Yeshiva. So he goes through life thinking he understands but really understands little. But he is convinced [!!!!] that he learns better than any Rav or Talmid Chochom.
Sad.
Mussar Haskel: Learn from a Rebbi how to learn.
And never stop.
