" Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject. "

If you can't explain something in simple words then you don't understand it. Being able to simplify a subject and being consistent about it is a step towards mastery. A person who is an expert in any subject has the ability to explain complicated things in a simple manner. Having an order and steps to study a particular subject is better than mindlessly studying anything. You can't run before you learn to walk, similarly, you should learn the basics in order to master anything.
