We are always learning
I believe that learning IS life. One of the primary reasons you and I occupy these physical bodies is to experience. Part of experiencing is learning.
Learning is not just related to overall intelligence. May people know lots of things – but are not terribly intelligent. Likewise, many very intelligent people are not very wise.
What matters, though, is that learning is ongoing. That can take you to all kinds of places in your life.
Book smarts versus street smarts
Though not necessarily literal, there’s an important distinction to be made here.
Book smarts is what you learn in school, from books, reading news, studying journals, and the like. It’s not specific to earned degrees – but more to a thirst for knowledge and learning things.
Street smarts is what you learn from your life experience. It’s not necessarily the literal definition of learning from life on the streets – but is not dissimilar, either. Everything you do in life teaches you something – sometimes it just doesn’t impact right away, or it takes root in your subconscious.
“Common sense” falls under street smarts.
Learning builds solutions
I believe that there is a solution to every problem, situation, and challenge we face. Learning what that is, however, can take a lot of effort.
What’s more – there’s seldom only one option for any given situation. Unfortunately, there may be one good option and a dozen terrible options – but there are options. And sometimes you need to weigh if the terrible is more about perceiving bad than actual bad that might occur – or if it’s immediate and lessens later or vice versa.
Learning empowers you.
