A Philosophical Text: The Art of Learning

All this while, learning was spoon fed. Throughout my 14 years of education,I have never felt this way. However, it is becoming evident that higher education requires one to master the art of learning to achieve.

In the world out there, nobody will sympathise if you don't know something. Nobody will spill out their knowledge to you unless you know how to dig it out from them.

What is the art of learning? Learning = the act of acquiring knowledge. How? By asking questions to fulfil your curiosity and make sense of things. This is also the most challenging part of the process - to come up with the 'right' questions and to the 'right' person.

It is rarely that you can find someone who offer you more than you asked. There are such people. But not always you find them. And you should consider yourself lucky to be able to.

Everyday you are learning something. Occasionally you find it useful, some other times you simply aren't aware of it.

Thought for the day: Learning is an easy and interactive process. Mastering it is another challenge.
