What is Learning?

"The process of learning is often more important than what is being learned"

How many times have we struggled with learning something and gave up in disgust? Or did we struggle seeming without end and persevered to the finish? Or maybe we learned something and in retrospect realized we never used it.

The process of learning always provides important lessons in and of itself. In choosing to learn something we discover our interests. If we do not persevere and give up we experience our limitations, and upon deeper reflection perhaps find where we limit ourselves. If we do persevere we learn the value of persistence and thus build our character,

If we do learn a skill well we find our strengths. And in learning something we develop our capacity for more learning. In collecting these experiences we can experience a great truth: "There is no failure, only feedback"
