By doing is how we learn, if we didn’t learn we wouldn’t do
How does one learn how to cope with loss?
How does one learn how to solve complex problems?
How does one learn…?
Learning... Happens to be one way we come to terms with reality and understand our surroundings. Learning is a vital process in our lives, for not only our personal benefits, but others around us. Learning is so vital now-a-days that we enforce our children to go learning centres, known as schools for first 15 to 18 years of their lives. Again, for the same reasons, so they too can adopt to our ever-growing fantasy of technology. Whether it be; faster this, safer that, or something that requires to be bigger to fill that void in our ‘obsession’ part of our minds.
If we didn’t learn, to learn, then what we have left to understand?
Learning processes in this big wide world of ours, enables us to interact with people with love and care about. Sometimes the learning can be on a social basis eg parties or rather a self taught skill eg driving. One special mechanism that is unnoticed to most is how to appreciate you.
Whatever the learning involved, the one thing that remains unlearnt is you
I’ve never liked how children in school, always say to their parents “Nothing” after the parent asks them what they learnt today in school. Irrespective of it not being encouraging, and the child being unaware of it, learning is something some people take for granted and throw away after being so close to finishing.
By making mistakes is how we learn
By learning is how we make mistakes
But the most important learning, I’ve learn to recognise and address is, listening. For reasons other than the intangible benefits of gaining unimportant information, listening to others is a fundamental stage in the way in which we learn. Listening happens to be learning, not only for the person actually listening but also the person speaking, how well have they taught themselves to make there words heard.
Well, I hope you have learned something, I know I have.
So, how does one learn…?
What we learn to do, we learn by doing

wow very nice, i really enjoyed it and its true, i guess by listening we are conceiving information even if we know it or not. "mans greatest vice, the sum of all his evils...not ignorance, but the refusal to know."
i like this. i also really hate listening to people complain about learning, or refusing to persue their own [even informal] education. however, i think that school systems don't encourage independent learning at all. and when it comes down to the quick, if someone doesn't want to learn, they will not learn [or apply] very much. what infuriates me the most is people's total apathy. no one seems to want to understand.
