Learn, Unlearn & Relearn: Lifelong Learning

The Key to Learn is to unlearn stereotypes and relearn innovation.

Psychologically, it is non-viable to withdraw what you've learnt in the past, but in order to learn new things one needs to set the subconscious free and adapt to the new techniques.

In my 30 years of experience, I have seen many people trying to learn something new. But, in due course, they were trying to compare something they knew, to something that's new and failed miserably.

A proficient person is always better than a novice. But, at learning new things, a novice is favoured than the experienced, as learning is all about new start-ups. If you will ask a tennis player to play badminton, he will try to put his own norms rather than substituting his own with the new ones, while a novice will obey.

It's the details which matter the most. People often neglect the details. But, at the end of the day, it is the most important thing and relearning seizes it all. Relearning is the key to success. For rainbow one needs to pass through the dark clouds, same is with relearning. In this case, relearning is the dark cloud which we need to go through to obtain a bright future.

In order to grasp things one needs to learn, but when it comes to remembering things, relearning steps in. If you relearn, you discover something new from what you've learnt.

Today, during the covid crisis, everyone's traumatized due to the great loss of employment, assets and education. But, we need to cope up with the situation and paddle our own canoe. One can only help but it is us who need to practise it.

During the recent pandemic, the education sector has adapted to ‘Online Classes’, which may be sometimes chaotic, sometimes unpractical, yet the only feasible solution available.

Multi learning is introduced. We can learn or practice in more than one field; new articles are introduced regardless of barriers. With ‘Online Education’, we don't have to sit in packed and humid classrooms to learn something new, nor do we have to carry heavy loads daily. Instead, we can learn as per our own convenience that is anywhere, anytime and on any device.

The premium institution, one has been dreaming of, now can actually fly to our homes and in turn, all of this leads to development.

All of this reminds me of a saying that “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
