"Why Would I Never Learn?"

03-12-2015

Learning is part of life; we learn everyday. In school when we were still small until we grow up, we learned things that were needed in order to live and be successful, achieving our goals.

That is why it is important to have good and proper education, for it is education that forms our being. Education is crucial in the life of a person for it teaches us what to do and help avoid mistakes. It is said:

13 Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life—guard it well. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ GNT)

Education is a process of learning and doing. You may not get it right the first time but with iteration, there is refinement until you get it right. "We learn by our own mistakes," as the adage goes, and through practice and hard work, makes it perfect.

The process is simple: Study->Think->Learn->Do then looped to Study again.

First, we learn from teachers, parents, and friends from what they say and by reading books, through the Internet and experiences.

Second, we think then comes understanding.

Third, we learn what we know.

Finally, we do what we have learned. If what we did is wrong, we try to study again and go through the process of learning. Or, if it's correct, we also go back to start and study new things and innovations through the whole process again. This is based from my experience and thinking that might be taken into consideration (Yes, I am still learning).

In school, our teachers talk all day imparting their knowledge to us so we know. They give quizzes, exams to test us if we learned something about learning. And through learning, applying it in our everyday lives. Study, Think, Learn and Do is the process of learning. As we move forward, we must be equipped enough to do our work and jobs, living independently, and even teaching others of what we have learned. In the end, don't be like this:

12 and you will say, “Why would I never learn? Why would I never let anyone correct me? (‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬ GNT)
