Worth pondering...
“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it will all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” R.W. Emerson

Principles of peak learning
Adults who take command of their learning master more things and better than those “taught” and have more zest in the process.
We learn differently than children.
What are some of the differences?
No one can learn for you. It is your
doing.

As an adult
You can learn how to learn.You are already a superb
learner.You have your own
learning style.Your learn best when most
active mentally.

Still more...
You can design your optimal learning environment. Be alert, comfortable, productive.
We learn most enjoyably by choosing from an array of media, methods, and experiences.
We can accelerate our learning right in our workplaces.
