I believe if you replaced the word "belief" with the synonymous word "hypothesis" you wouldn't have a problem. Unless you're completely unthinking, it's impossible to not already have a preconceived ideas about what you're going to learn. There's nothing wrong with already having beliefs, you can't not have them... Anyhow as the result of learning you learn if you were either right, wrong, or somewhat both in your beliefs. Let's take something simple as an example. The Earth moves around the Sun. My Preconceived Hypothesis: From experience I can watch the sun move across the sky. The Earth feels like it's pretty still. So one can only conclude that the Sun is the one who's actually moving. ^The above is however incorrect. The argument against the above is that when you do the math it's a lot simpler for the Earth and planets to be circling the Sun and not everything circling the Earth. Also we can study Venus and note how the dark side of Venus changes (see as Venus goes around the sun different parts of it are lit up showing that it's moving around the Sun). And why it feels like the Earth is not moving is explained because we are in fact "moving with" the Earth. ===== As a side note I disagree with the person who said "beliefs tend to get in the way". That's not true, in fact, most scientific facts are actually "beliefs" before they're proven. You have a belief, you go out and prove that belief. Copernicus believed the Heliocentric model, he went out and proved it.

Sometimes the hardest thing to let go of is something you never really had.
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
“The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”
“Better know nothing than half-know many things.”
“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
“Life is a paradox; you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”
I soon found out you can’t change the world. The best you can do is to learn to live with it. – Henry Miller

I like this one. I can imagine God asking the same thing of us as we stand before Him.
Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"

absence of proof is not proof of absence - arthur levine
the hardest part of loving is to admit that you've fallen in love with someone you didn't mean to love from the start
The reality of other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you; therefore if you would understand him listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.
The virtue of true love is not finding the perfect person, but loving the imperfect person perfectly.
You got to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, because most of life’s lessons are learned because of pain.
Love is hurting, but still loving; hurting more and still loving more; and in the end, hurting so much but still loving so much that you’ll hurt no more.
Parting is all we know of heaven and all we need to know of hell -Emily Dickenson
For in its innermost depths, youth is lonelier than old age - Anne Frank
Every moment on earth is short-lived. But if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t have known how good life is.

"Life is a mind game. Every relationship you have is a mind game. Where does anger, tranquility, happiness come from? They all come from your mind. In the end everything feeds into your mind, and everything starts from your mind. If you decide to be a successful person, it all starts and finishes with the mind. Life is a mind game."
