| Ways to Learn |
Learning
is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, practice, study,
or by being taught. Its acquiring new skills, or modifying and reinforcing,
existing knowledge, behaviours, skills, values, etc. It may involve
synthesizing different types of information.
In
discussing this gift of learning, try experimenting; make mistakes, and ask
silly questions; just have fun while at it - fun is a very vital part of
learning, especially as an adult. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, so make the
most of it. Consider some more tips on learning below.
1.
Teach others. To learn a subject better and improve your own understanding, try
teaching others. This is a wonderful way to learn. Joseph Joubert once said
that "To teach is to learn twice." In teaching others how to learn
things, you will find that you learn even more than the students. Not only will
you need to have a good grasp of your materials, you will need to respond to
the querying minds of your students and extend your understanding beyond what
you have considered it to be up to the point of each question asked of you.
2.
Observe. Look more intently at your environment, examine both the usual and the
unusual, and look at it from varying dimensions. Respond to what you observe,
notice then examine your own response. If you find that it's difficult to
observe things for long; consider meditating. This will help you to learn to
see things you haven't noticed before.
3.
Practice. This is a great way to help you learn more completely and retain what
you've learned longer. It will also help you to discover flaws and strengths in
your learning, which is how we progress as humans. You never know what you
might discover, unravel or link together.
We
should realize that our lives as humans are shaped more from what we know, than
what we don't. We have to make learning a priority in our lives; it gives us an
edge - more like life has given us a discount.
