The #1 thing you should learn, the #1 thing you must learn, and the #1 thing that will help you be better in everything you do is learning “how to learn.”
If you are focused in business, you may think the important subject to learn is business. You might be also thinking productivity so everything is faster and more efficient. For you parents, parenting may come to mind because that is the evolution of humans. However all these things are subjective if you don’t know how to learn. Learning “how to learn” will help you in many aspects in your life.
Where most learning happens in society
In the modern world learning is everywhere! We live in a society and world where things change rapidly. From the technology that we use, to the daily functions of our lives. Everything is changing quickly and we have to learn new things to survive in the world. If we do not, we may not be able to call or connect with people if we don’t learn how to use touch phones. I know it sounds weird to some of you, but yes I know people that still do not understand touch screen phones.
Additionally, if you are not learning new concepts that are happening in the world your business may fail or you may not be able to get a job because you are not able to learn a new skill.
It is stated by psychologist that our learning drive is greater than our sex drive. Unfortunately, is has been suppressed over time from our parents or teachers in ways such as “don’t bother me now” or “you learn that in 4th grade, not this year.” This reactions to questions during our childhood hinders and slows our search for learning.
