Learning About Learning

Learning at a young age for me, used to be a monotonous task of memorization that showed little benefit. It was just a chore in the way of a goal.
When you start to believe in what you are retaining, and truly understanding it something happens. A piece of space develops in your mind, a perspective. When you begin to reach a state of fluency with your topic, you begin to see great benefit of knowing more. So great in fact that you may believe that to stop learning would leave you in a place where you cannot be most correct, sort of damaged.



The mindset of "finish college get your salary" is a weak mentality. They cram knowledge down your throat before you have even had a chance to be fully immersed in the theory. This takes away that possibility for the grand perspective. Only very few with dedication will be this involved with their studies. I have watched groups of people cheat their way to a diploma and yet haven't a full grasp on what they are supposed to know. But they do know that $XX,XXX a year is awaiting them.
In the long run, if they are involved with their career immediately and continuously for years, they may change and gain. But, it does pain me to see what school is becoming.
The point of money to motivate mixed with today's pop-culture is challenging.
