“Curiosity is
the engine of achievement.”
There are four types of learning:
Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, Reading/Writing. Most of the people have the
combination of all the four.
The word journey means an expedition or an act of travelling or a voyage. In this the destination is important. Learning means gain knowledge or become aware of or discover or observe or grasp.
True learning is not just being
literate but it modifies one’s behaviour. After acquiring degrees, one looks
for the eligible decent job with respectable salary so that one can be
independent. The real reason for study is to gain the knowledge. The more the
knowledge, one can take the better decisions which would lead to a better life.
One need to understand the WHY of what you do. Study is an integral part of
one’s life and it is most important. Just as little drops of water make up an
ocean, a little knowledge everyday can make a person wise. This is possible
only when we truly learn.
STYLES OF LEARNING:
1.
Implicit:
This takes place without one’s knowledge, indirectly takes place.
2. Explicit:
This is acquired when a person uses brain, able to proceed from known to unknown.
3.
Collaborative:
Nowadays this method is advocated in schooling. Leadership qualities get
developed.
4.
Co-operative:
When students interact with one another, they are able to understand better.
They learn from others too.
5.
Observation:
This is another important kind of learning where one observes another and
learns a lot. We can refer the very NATURE.
How to Learn:
There are 3 stages of learning:
1.
Cognitive
– This is pertained to an individual working towards developing overall
understanding of skills. One use brain more effectively. This skill enables any
individual to develop problem solving skills. An individual is be able to link
the previous knowledge for updating.
2.
Associative
– In this kind of learning, an individual is capable of linking the known ideas
to new ideas and it is a continuous process.
3.
Autonomous
– In this, learners acquire skills by independent efforts, looks for sources, make
efforts for effective learning.

Knowledge is all around. Everyday
learning refreshes our mind. It depends on how one learns. There are voracious

There is a purpose in life, one has
to understand this, then only one’s mind shall not wander here and there, shall
be working towards the goal. The purpose could be on many areas either in
scholastic or non-scholastic, to say self-development, enlightening others, to
validate and update one’s knowledge, to prepare and guide others to face the
problems.
A quote from Kirill Korshikov
“Never stop learning, because life
never stops teaching.”
