Has your ability to seek knowledge (e.g. writing for lengthy periods, patience during lectures, memorising points, etc) weakened over time?

Has your ability to seek knowledge (e.g. writing for lengthy periods, patience during lectures, memorising points, etc) weakened over time?

Sh. Ibn Uthaymin:

If one concerns himself with distractions then his proficiency in acquiring knowledge weakens.

[Kitab al-Ilm (p. 156)]

 

[King Khufu]

It goes through periods, some points I make at times are very well thought and sturdy than myself other most times.
I still try to keep on my toes and my sword sharp at mental wits.

 

[King Khufu]

Knowledge can also be replaced, changed, corrected, fixed, or abolished for any reason a person sees fit in their life’s callings.
So it’s good to have a mesmerized foundation but also fluid to adapt what no longer works compare to having workable knowledge to make new gains
