How to learn to learn


Writing blog is a drag whenever you have tons of things you wish to convey but you seem can’t put them to words. To able to create something which pure genuinity is impossible for human. It is because human learn by passively absorb multiple things and integrate it piece by piece from all the sources they possess. We mimic what we see, hear and feel and innovate it subconsciously in several aspects to create what we regard as creative.

To spark creativity, human must have either their self desire or when they stumble across roadblocks in their life. That’s the element for solution in our life, depending what we feel which problems is, for us or what not. If you’re contented with what you have and treat the entire problem as your companion, then the urge for creativity ceases.  Contrary, some may happen to have high desire and their creativity becomes a deadly shortcut that disregard the process taken to obtain what they wanted. However, it is imperative to see that creativity is just a subset of learning. Ethics, self belief, initiative and so on are too important.

One of my lecturers from Britain shares his contrast view between the learning process in the United States and the learning process where I was form. He was teaching in my country for quite some time and he travels extensively to many places. In his opinion, the endpoint of the numbers on the paper justifies learning as a success in my country. People strived for that all the time. It has become a norm passed from the older generation and they think they’re on par with others but in fact they’re disillusioned. In the States, the success in learning is to stumble across as many problems as possible. This is to ensure people will solve that problems and learn more. The bigger hole you find in a developed piece of land, the greater chance if you fixed that hole, is that people can benefit that big piece of area for many purposes, the greater contribution you give to the community. He gave me an important piece of advice after I managed to engage in an extraordinary conversation. He advised me to keep up to what I am doing so that In future, when I do learn enough money, I can visit to different places. That dream itself would be a good incentive to me for what I am doing. For me, it would be a long term benefits that I would try to foresee though my work doesn’t paid off in this down slopping educational life. I just need to believe in myself strongly.
