A Learning Thought


Learning has always been essential part of success. From the time we were born until we've become what we wanted, learning is there. It is a very important part of the whole process of our evolution, the technological evolution of human race as an example. From the day we first glimpse of the world and experience life, we then evolved through the things we have learned as we go. As babies, we learn to open our mouth to speak what we have heard, to move our feet and to go where we wanted to and to mimic what we have seen from what others were doing. But that's just a simple way of showing how we grow as we learn. 

Ages ago, people then lived differently - in caves and in a very simple way of life we could only imagine as compared to how complex it is in our times today. They once lived never to have learned about fire, when the carriages of transport are drawn by animals. Much more, never learned and experienced how a simple on/off concept or 1 or 0 could change the world - technically different. That's the digital, technologically advanced world we are now in. 



For a toast of success in whatever single thing that we do, learning is always there. Or I should say, you have well learned it. It is a very crucial part of that whole process. We do things because we learn to do it. From the mere "wish I can do that" or "I want to do that" into "I already know that", learning is there in between. And much more, if you continue learning something beyond normal capability, you will become a master of it. Many might have known a thing but to become a master of it means you go beyond where everybody has reached. 

Gardner theorized multiple intelligence and I believe that the learning styles are anchored to this. For the learning styles are probably different for every person and that it is important to nourish whichever you are good at. 

Knowledge. Learning. They have disruptively changed the world. 

But a fact it remains, it's not enough to just have knowledge and to learn things. This, I realized. Although, they are important because they are the foundation of what you do and how you can improve things.

But in all and one thought, it will come down to how these are used that draws the change.   

"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do."
-Johann von Goethe
