Sometimes, having the instructions, or the answers, doesn't really help one understand. One must still spend the time working the problem.
"The way that can be spoken of
Is not the constant way;
The name that can be named
Is not the constant name."
The Tao te Ching

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
