Learning Profiles Linking to Goal Realization

What have you learnt? What have you learnt can become useful in realizing your goals? What can you use? Knowing how you learn is the start in working toward learning. Thus, if you know what you learnt you have an understanding of what it means to you. If you learnt in your life that we all endure discomforts and that we have to train to tolerate, accept and deal with the discomforts rather than allowing them to hold us down.

Discomforts are natural. We all deal with discomforts at some point in time. Discomforts in fact are a part of our learning procedures. Thus, we have to learn to accept discomforts and allow them to flow freely. Discomforts are obvious when a test or exam is mentioned. Most times people freak out believing they will fail. Instead, these people should let go of their discomforts and practice and prepare to pass the test.

After you learn to deal with discomforts, you should have learnt to match your activities, applying the activities to what you learnt. For instance, if you plan to major in science you would not want to include activities that move away from your goal. Although it is great to take on minor courses that are unrelated, the primary courses you take should revolve around science.

Sometimes you have to adjust what you learnt by using offset strategies. While the rule of thumb for the majority is to learn what they feel comfortable with, or else learn what interest them, thus, learning outside of our interests is a way to open the mind. The steps in school often let us down since time for practicing, integration of meaning and content does not take place, and some teachers fail to deliver content with facts backing it. Rather they will believe what they read and inform the students, and later we find it al was a lie.

Observation is a part of learning and has proven stronger than talking, reading, and the like. In fact, observational therapy is a leading therapeutic strategy that has proven to do more than any other counseling strategy. If you learn observational practices, you will soon learn to watch, listen, and take notes before acting on what you learn. This will also enhance your people skills, which makes life smoother for you. To get started ask self a few questions. Ask what is important to you and what you learn. Ask self what does the topics of interest show you and how does it fit into your plans to achieve your goals.

Now move onto understanding concepts and theories. Concepts could be something imaged or thought of unexpectedly. Concepts go further however, since concepts broad principals that affect perceptions as well as behaviors.

Most times concepts are broad or wide range abstract ideas. Sometimes the concepts are guiding of general principals. For instance, conceptions can determine what you conclude why a person behaves in such a way. Theories are hypothesis, which sometimes a person will conjure up an idea. Theories are assuming, which you want to be careful, since most of the problems we have today are by cause of assuming.

The point is what you learn is how you will understand and relate to your goals. The more you understand and relate the best chance you have of reaching your goal. Still, you need purpose and meaning to achieve your goals.

Finally, I am going to ask you to think about what you learnt, apply it and conduct a research of areas you have concern. Take notes on your new findings and then study your interests again to find meaning.
