THE TWO KINDS OF LEARNING


We all want to learn, at least most people do. There's a quest to know and discover what is out there. There such vast knowledge in the world today that it would take eternity to digest all of them. However, there are two kinds of learning. Learning before an experience and Learning after an experience. Both are inevitable. What matters is your perspective in using both.

When you learn before an experience you position yourself to gather all the needed information, resources and contacts that would make what you're about venturing into result in a huge success. When you learn from an experience you gather insight from what you've done, both from the successes and the mistakes you made. It's important to engage the two forms of learning.

One reason why people make lots of mistakes is that they refuse to engage either forms of these learning methods. Some over prepare and may hit their mark only to just jump off to something else. Others don't prepare well and fail and give up in the process. You must leverage the two kind of learning in every area of your life.

The way to learn before an experience is through books, messages, attending conferences, connecting with mentors and influencers. The way to learn after an experience is to have a personal evaluation via reflection. I've learnt from John Maxwell that engaging the Law of Reflection transforms experience into insight. So, in essence there's no bad experience and you cannot be over prepared for an experienced. Just stick to the Learning Principle.

Keep Learning.

Central Truth: What determines whether an experience is good or not is judged by your choice to learn from it.

ACTION POINT:
1. Identify something you want to venture into-a relationship, a career pursuit, business etc . begin to learn all you can through books and other avenues outlined above and practice accordingly.

2. Point to an event in your life and begin to engage the law of reflection. Turn your experience into Insight.
