Acquiring
the habits successful student part 1 by herrera
We humans are innate learners, as learning is the
cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in
diverse (and often harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as
truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit
stems from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e.,
the motivation or stimulant we learn. We can learn because of fear, (we want to
learn to how to protect ourselves from danger.) We can learn just out of
curiosity (our natural inquisitive behavior). We can learn because we want to
reach some social status, (approval of others is a potent stimulus). We can
learn simply because we want to learn new things every day. There are plenty of
reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money
are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.
