Cup is full

There is an over-used Asian example whereby a teacher pours tea into the student's cup until it spills over. The student urgently tells the teacher to stop pouring.

The teacher explains that the student's mind is like the cup; it is already full of ideas and preconceptions. Until they empty out what they already think, no new knowledge can be comprehended.
