really smart people do.
Most people don't really think much about how they learn.
Generally you assume learning comes naturally. You listen to someone
speak either in conversation or in a lecture and you simply absorb what
they are saying, right? Not really. In fact, I find as I get older that
real learning takes more work. The more I fill my brain with facts,
figures, and experience, the less room I have for new ideas and new
thoughts. Plus, now I have all sorts of opinions that may refute the
ideas being pushed at me. Like many people I consider myself a lifelong
learner, but more and more I have to work hard to stay open minded.
But the need for learning never ends, so your desire to do so should
always outweigh your desire to be right. The world is changing and new
ideas pop up everyday; incorporating them into your life will keep you
engaged and relevant. The following are the methods I use to stay open and impressionable.
