Read "The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt and Jeff Cox. Appreciate a concept taught in school science class.

Your observations without first learning underlying concepts provide no knowledge - only myths. To appreciate a deeper meaning - the reality behind your observations - read that book. To know something, one must have both experimental evidence (your observations) AND a basic grasp of the underlying concepts (what results in a hypothesis). Without both, then urban myths are generated using assumptions and speculation. Story in that book explains or demonstrates the underlying concepts that you may not yet understand.
