What is
Learning ?
"You
can take the horse to the pond but you can't make it drink " is a
well-known saying. Learning means acquiring knowledge and skills. You should make efforts to learn
and what we do is to take you to the 'pond' of knowledge' and help you
to 'drink'.
What
is knowledge?
When
a child touches fire (not knowing that it burns) and gets injured, the child
has acquired knowledge through experience. Obviously, this is due to the
fact that the child has intelligence. Thus intelligence is what
transforms an experience into knowledge.
Not
all knowledge comes from experience. A lot of our knowledge comes from
information.
What
about skills ?
A
pilot has the skill to fly an aircraft . A surgeon has the skill to perform a
surgery. It is true that the pilot and surgeon also have 'knowledge' but their
asset is predominantly 'skill'
which comes through experience only.
Intelligence
is what we need to acquire knowledge and skills. It is said that most of us use
less than 5% of our intelligence!! (it is said that Albert Einstein used
less than 10% of his intelligence !!). What we are saying is that intelligence
is unlikely to be the bottleneck for you to learn.
As
long as you have the desire to learn and willing to put efforts, you will enjoy
learning!!
