Learning to Learn

Learning to Learn

A little learning is a dangerous thing !
Thus wrote Alexanderr Pope in the early 18th Century. And generations of delighted slackers have been feeling vindicated in their unwillingness to get started. they do not get to the second line of the quote which begins "Drink deep..."

Can we improve our efficiency in learning? The short answer is Yes !

*Becoming aware of our own brain process and what switches them on and off.
*Never ceasing to ask questions about ourselves as well as about what our five senses tell us.
*Looking for the unusual and the off-beat, and embracing change.
*Seeking new challenges for our mental faculties.
*Increasing our tolerance of differences so as to widen our horizens
*Being respectful of others and their opinions; there is much to learn from others.
*Being respectful of nature, she is the best teacher if we are willing to learn from her.
