Designing Your Learning
Learning is an individual activity of change. It is not about taking tests, nor about writing papers, nor about sucking-up to others. Learning is about becoming confident in understanding an expanding world, its complexities and the use of time. Obviously, you can avoid learning and use the "dumbing-down yourself" option, or you can plug and play through thinking into the future via learning.
Dumbing-down is easy! It only requires a fool's errand where a person runs around in a circle in the middle of a room creating nothing for his life. Doing nothing! Going nowhere! Dissing himself--continually! When asked what he is doing his response is predictively, "Hanging!"
You have a choice of continually learning new ideas, creating multiple-application skills, and shifting among personal lines of sight into the future. Or you can simply do nothing, go nowhere and live in a self-made rut.
What do you believe you need to learn and how well prepared are you to learn--effectively and confidently?
What is your metaphor for describing yourself as a learner?
