A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: Learning "Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned." Taylor Caldwell What is learning to you? Should it be a lifetime effort? ----------- On learning, Wikipedia's too-long article starts with: "Learning is the process of acquiring a new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, non-human animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants." Wow! That means everything learns! That means learning is the essential part of all existence. How silly of me that I once thought only humans and animals could learn! Although recently some new technological aids have been in the picture, also. Come to think of it, maybe I should be panicking. Should I though? With or without the help up technology, if I wanted to stay alive on this planet, I had already found out the importance of learning, a long time ago. But now, the tech and its machinery and such have entered into the picture as well. Wow, again! Learning, very shoddily, meant at one time "acquiring facts." And not only to me but to the entire school systems and to most teachers. Still, much earlier in my life, say during my grade-school years, I figured out learning also meant adaptation. If I didn't adapt, I didn't get the praises or the goods. But was that enough? I now think learning goes far beyond acquiring facts and adaptation. It also involves developing critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to apply knowledge in personal experiences and real-world situations. And then some. Our wish for learning stimulates curiosity and creativity, enriching life with new skills, hobbies, and perspectives. It keeps the mind active and engaged, which can contribute to mental well-being. Then, of course, learning has to be lifelong. Inherently, it already is, but if we pay even more special attention to it, we can reap more benefits out of it. This is because learning encourages curiosity and creativity, enriching life with new skills, hobbies, and perspectives. It keeps the mind active and engaged, which can contribute to our mental well-being. That is why I feel I am rather fortunate to live in this time and age for there are many more resources for learning like that of the internet, even if, at times, I get worried and suspicious of such new forms of intelligence, in case they might mess up our well-being and the way of life; however, so far, aside from being a buttinsky, any newest technology has only been helpful. So, I'll say, power to learning, in any way and with anything that helps us along while we are alive. |
