Wilford Woodruff a modern day prophet of The Church of Latter-day Saints said the following:

There are many hours that both parents and children squander away that might be spent in learning. . . . The Lord will not do a miracle to give us learning when we can get it ourselves. Some have an idea that [there] is no matter about getting knowledge here, thinking that by and by that they will enter heaven and that God will fill their minds with all the knowledge of the eternal worlds. But they will be mistaken in this for they will have to learn it little by little as here. (WWJ 3:78.)

*****

Do not be discouraged because you cannot learn all at once; learn one thing at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful knowledge which will not only be a great blessing to yourselves and your children, but to your fellow men. (JH 2, May 1, 1857, p. 269)
