SOME LEARNING QUOTES TO UNLEARN AND RELEARN

Dear students,

Have a look at the quotes listed below as they might of a great benefit to further boast our motivation to keep up learning to the best level possible. Not to forget, some quotes need a careful thought as they might challenge our long established perceptions cum dogmas. To coin what was once said by Rooseevelt 'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent'. The same applies to those foods for thought. We may agree or otherwise. What matters most is they i mean the quotes force our brain to rationalise. And after all we are rational animals.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skill through study, experience or teaching. It is a process that depends on experience and leads to long-term changes in behavior potential. Behavior potential describes the possible behavior of an individual (not actual behavior) in a given situation in order to achieve a goal. Learning is defined as changes in a system that results in improved performance over time on tasks similar to those done previously.

A dictionary definition is that it is acquiring knowledge or skill through study, experience or teaching. it is an increase in the capability for effective action. Individual, team, and organizational learning can all be measured by the outcomes that result from effective action.

These quotes can be used to emphasize the importance of learning throughout life and how it improves the personality of the person who undergoes the learning process. These quotes also emphasize on the marked difference in the performance of the people who have learnt from their mistakes over those people who have not.
