Albert Einstein thought like me

I have always had thus idea, that if you can't mask something easy for a little child to understand, you reall can't teach.

Today I found a quote by Albert Einstein;

"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
? Albert Einstein

The other day, I was thinking how easy it is to have complex information, but how hard it is to make that information easy to understand for the layman.

Lots of people who have years of accomplishment make tutorials on their field of study, but little to none actually can teach well.

It's easy to have knowledge, but it takes a profound sense of understanding to convey it in an easy to grasp way.
