Learning How To Learn, The Supreme Lifelong Skill
Somehow, life never stops teaching us. If only we’d knew how to learn.
There’s no shortage of learning means. Yet our ability to see it, pay attention to it, and make the most of it stands in our way. It’s what’s stopping us from achieving pretty much everything we want in life.
Then, of course, it’s also how we learn whatever we get to see and pay attention to.
A timeless quote by Brian Herbert made an excellent point about learning.
“The capacity to learn is a gift; the willingness to learn is a choice; the ability to learn is a skill.”
So, I’ve wrapped my head around it and thought of:
Why learning how to learn makes all the difference;
Why there’s no way you’ll get the ropes of it from one place;
What learning involves, as a process;
And my favorites resources on learning how to learn (including a link to a movie roundup for parents who want to instill their kids the growth mindset!)
How do we cultivate the learning skill in a world where access to information has never been easier?
