Studying is tedious and boring; learning is fun and exciting. I have set several personal goals for this year. One is to obtain some certifications and, of course, I purchased the requisite study guides. But I really struggle with my study guides. (Let me stress that I use the term guides to mean regular, old-fashioned books made of paper. There is nothing mystical or magical such as when the term is used by Napoleon Hill and some others.) After about a page (or two on a good day) my mind starts to wander and I am thinking about other topics. Studying is just plain tedious. Learning is something totally different. Watching a new video tutorial, doing a hands-on install of a new Linux distribution, meeting someone new and listening while newfriend explains what motivates and stimulates them, explaining over a cup of coffee to a friend what is in my mind so that it is clear and thorough and makes them want to hear more, reading thought-provoking blogs, etc. These all trigger my buttons and excite me. I have shared this with some homeschooler friends in hopes they can instill a spirit of life-long learning in their kids and also some retired friends who are content to gather firewood in the morning, nap in the afternoon and watch ESPN in the evening. So many had their curiosity dampened by poor school curriculums. Learning is indeed fun and should be for everyone. Today, like never before, we do indeed live in an information age where knowledge is available seemingly everywhere. Web 2.0 may just be the "evolution of learning". Now back to my study guide. |
