Acquiring the Habits of Highly
Successful Students
Part 1
by Herrera
We humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for
survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often
harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent
beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from
learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e.,
the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to
learn how to protect ourselves from danger.) We can learn just out of curiosity
(our natural inquisitive behavior.) We can learn because we want to reach some
social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) We can learn
simply because we love to learn new things every day. There are plenty of
reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money
are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
