Pearls of Wisdom |
|
East
Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn
as if you were to live forever.
–
Mahatma Gandhi
For knowledge add a little every day, for
wisdom erase a little every day.
–
Lao Tzu
One pound of learning requires ten pounds
of common sense to apply it.
– Persian proverb
I learn as much from a turtle as from a
religious text.
–
Dalai Lama
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
–
Confucius
Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor
to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our
friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when
friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is
an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies.
–
Mohammad
West
No one can "get" an education,
for of necessity education is a continuing process.
–
Louis L'Amour
Wisdom is knowing what to do
next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it.
– David
Starr Jordan
Man never rises to great
truths without enthusiasm.
–
Vauvenargues
The most fatal illusion is the settled
point of view. Life is growth and motion; a fixed point kills anybody
who has one.
– Brooks Atkinson
Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has
a value at this moment exactly proportional to my skill to deal with it.
Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it
better.
– Mark Van Doren
Experience is not what happens to you; it
is what you do with what happens to you.
– Aldous Huxsley
A life without change is not a life; it is
a stagnant pool. To change your mind frivolously is a cop-out. To change
your mind under the direction of the wisdom of the heart is a brush
stroke on the masterpiece you are delivering to the world.
– Alan Cohen, "Dare to Be Yourself"
The search for
wisdom is a great challenge;
to act on wisdom is an even greater challenge.
–
Siddhaswarupananda
Intelligence is like a four-wheel drive. It
allows you to get stuck in more remote places.
–
Garrison Keillor

What Does
Creativity Bring To Your Life? |
-
Creativity brings an
awakening, a jarring, a sense of
delicious discomfort. It brings a discontinuity to
your life. There
is always something more to lean. A creative idea who's execution is
out of your reach because your skills haven't caught up to it yet
keeps you going....

The Biggest Success Secret
Life is about continuous learning,
discovering
new things, and growing.
Successful people
don't think they know everything. They are open to new ideas. They are
always willing to find another way, find a better solution. That's why
they're successful.
Don't think you know everything and be open to
learning and trying new things if you wish to
achieve
more,
create new things,
grow, be successful and live the life you want.
Learning by Doing
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.
I do and I understand." ~
Confucius
"I'm
always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it
."

Pablo Picasso
Education brings knowledge, applying it brings
wisdom...

Lifelong Learning (LLL)
Lifelong learning is learning in which
you engage throughout your life. It includes both formal and informal
education. As new know knowledge is created and disseminated increasingly
faster, terminology and definitions of lifelong learning (LLL) have
developed in line with the shift of emphasis away from the system (in
lifelong education) to the learner (in lifelong learning).
Interactive Learning
The mutual
exchange of tacit and explicit knowledge describes the knowledge creation
process. During the socialization mode of learning10,
tacit knowledge is transferred through
interactions between individuals, which may also be accomplished in the
absence of language. You may learn and gain a sense of competence by
observing behavior modeled by others. For example,
coaching,
mentoring and apprenticeships instruct tacitly through observation,
imitation, and practice...

place where people can draw upon resources to make sense out of things and

Learning and Forgetting
The most important main idea in
learning and forgetting is to understand that both
processes are activity dependent. The less knowledge is used, the
greater the forgetting. Similarly, the more something is repeated, the
better the
remembering. Just-in-case learning (where you learn
everything just-in-case you need it in the future) is predicated on ignoring
the forgetting process. 11
Memorizing
Everybody is
different, and there are probably hundreds of different study and
memorization techniques; the trick is finding the ones that work.
