learning

  1. Good book that lays out one of the methods to te language learning.

    Both style and method made sense to me when I was reading it.

    Also, it was first time that I was properly introduced to Spaced repetition. I wish I knew about this system when I was in the university.

  2. An intelligent mind is constantly learning. — An intelligent mind is one which is constantly learning, never concluding — styles and patterns have come to conclusion, therefore they [have] ceased to be intelligent. An intelligent mind is an inquiring mind. — An intelligent mind is an INQUIRING mind. It is not satisfied with explanations, with conclusions; nor is it a mind that believes, because belief is again another form of conclusion.
    Bruce Lee
  3. The reward of doing. — The doer alone learns.

  4. To use the term “distance learning” to refer to students and teacher sending e-mail messages to each other may have some value, but it obscures the fact that the act of reading a books is the best example of distance learning possible, for reading not only triumphs over the limitations of space and co-presence bit of time as well.

  5. Because he who does not constantly overcome himself - i.e., does not learn and does not act - disintegrates within; but if a man is to grow, social reality must be flexible, not rigid, not established as it is in the West. And nothing other than that chaos of new forms, after all, had made me decide to stick to People’s Poland. It was my shield against those who spend all their time earning, spending, and amusing themselves.
    Czesław Miłosz
  6. “The only things you learn are the things you tame,” said the fox. “People haven’t time to learn anything. They buy things ready-made in stores. But since there are no stores where you can buy friends, people no longer have friends. If you want a friend, tame me!”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
