Prince: Can you learn by looking at one side?

How far can you go in your working life, study life and your tedious life without the aspiration to learn? It is very sad to see that human being set confinement on their learning curve due to the lack of the thought of learning, for example, you can learn a great deal with reading, writing, playing and other routine activities, provided that you are equipped with the thought of learning which enable you to be receptive and ponder at the macro perspective.

Talk about reading, it is not so simply about reading an interesting article, an intriguing story, or history, if you read it so just to spend your time, then you will not be able to learn and comprehend thoroughly the underlying value. You may just admire the surface; it is like judging a book by its cover.

How much can one person learns in one life is solely depend on that person willingness to open up their mind, without being carried away by their emotion at that moment. It is hard, of course, to stay at a neutral ground in any particular learning platform, nevertheless, this is the only way to judge matter rationally so as to achieve optimum learning experience.

This is what the old one deem as ‘elite thinking’, to become an elite thinker, you shall not only look at one object at only one angle, but to ponder the object at different angle, certainly, you also must not take or defense your underlying thinking, in such a way that acting against the new concept.

The process involves read, understand and related, when you read, you are not just reading but also understanding the underlying value, then you relates it to share with people who has zero knowledge, it will become a viral knowledge that spread along the community, and knowledge can carry along from generation to generation. However, if this does not happen, then the opportunity for other to learn was deprived!

Think about University professor, who, if teach you only one side of the story or theory, either all about the good story or all about the bad story, under this circumstance, will you be able to learn more? One must not always stay on one path, the old one deems the outdated figure as traditional because they can not hold up to new meaning in life, and when you aren’t able to accept the fact, which has been proved generally effective with wide adoption, then you are more than just traditional.
