Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience or being taught. So, “or being taught,” right? Does someone need another person to teach her/him? Is it just a method of learning?
From an experience, learning is more effective when it is unexpected because your brain is open to it. When your brain is forced to learn, it knows it does not want it.
That is why children can be taught more easily than adults. As learning comes naturally for young children, they start to learn from the second they breathe. Hands-on experiences generally have more positive impact on learning than worksheets or memorization.
Speaking of your brain being open to new information, there are also barriers against the information. The most common barriers are mental health disorders, dyslexia, ADHD, autism, spectrum disorders or extrinsic barriers, such as cultural barriers and emotional factors, like feeling neglect or poverty.
Overcoming these barriers is important for learners to improve themselves and build a better understanding of a topic they are working on.
Learning is a joyful journey if the learner knows the way towards the end. Learning changes the physical structure of the brain. If your brain is a lot of files together, it consumes more information it reorganizes the order of these files.
Being aware of which path to take is essential in not only learning but life in general. It is the key to being successful. If you want to start a new journey, but you do not know what you are supposed to do, you are less likely to be successful.
We know that successful people are curious and determined. Determination is what matters. Someone can be clever, but if they are not determined, then their cleverness does not matter. A determined person who works smartly will be more successful.
So long story short, learning can be a different journey for everyone, and what is important is to know how you start that journey.
