Learning: The Infinite Loop.... (1/2)

We all know that nature has the inherent characteristic of being Cyclic. There are many environmental cyclic process like the water cycle. Also the Life is a cycle process of birth, death & re-birth. Learning also falls in this category.
Lets start from the beginning
There is a lot of data floating around us. Now when we read, listen, watch or Observe things then based on our natural acceptance, some data enters as information. *Foot Note
1*

Now when write or do or ap
ply what we have gained from the previous step, based on our interests, it becomes a part of our knowledge *Foot Note 2*

Next what we need to do is share this knowledge, speak it, teach it, talk about it. By doing this repeatedly, we mov
e the knowledge from the fore brain to the back-end of the brain, where it gets into our sub-conscious and becomes a part of our "Learning" *Foot Note 3*

We can say "this is what I have learnt"
Then after some time we realize we need to/ want to learn more about the same thing. We again start exploring, reading, observing.... and the process repeats. This is the Infinite Loop of Learning.


Foot Note 1: This information is like oil floating as a layer on top of water, its there but hasn't really dissolved in our system. And can be easily removed.




Foot Note 2: This is the stage where it gets cross mingled with our existing knowledge




Foot Note 3: This is the stage where its like salt completely dissolved in water.

  1. Very apt comparisons made in the blog. The only missing thing is the THINK part. After every step, you have to think in order to process the information or knowledge or Learning.

  2. Short and straight :)
    You can link your post to the TechBuddy's theory of learning,people would be able to relate and understand :)
