21st Century Learning and Teaching

Live and Learn

The great thing about self-directed, sometimes called informal, learning is that you own it. You determine what you want to learn, establish when the learning will take place, and have the opportunity to tailor it to your personal needs. There’s no forced curriculum, there are no required exams, and there are absolutely no grades — except the ones you give yourself. Your only test is how much knowledge you’re able to soak in and apply to your professional and personal life.

The world is at your fingertips. All you have to do is open your eyes and ears and begin taking it all in. The fact is, learning is as much an attitude as it is an activity. As the Buddhist proverb says, “When the student is ready, the master appears.”

So, promise yourself to begin today. Open your mind to new horizons — energize yourself by connecting with the world around you — and promise yourself that you’ll strive for excellence. It’ll change your perspective, it’ll change your potential, and it’ll change your life.

As Vernon Howard once said, “Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.” Live and learn!
