The Joy of Learning

What a marvel to see a child learning so many things so quickly. The most mundane things we do every day are the result of meticulous learning.

Suddenly, a breakthrough occurs. In an instant, we forget the patience it took to reach this tipping point. Through returning to difficult subjects repeatedly, we eventually conquer new domains of knowledge. Trying, approaching from a new angle, accepting failure, and starting over.

A good day should always be framed by what we have learned. It’s also necessary to accept being in the fog for a while before seeing the horizon clear. There’s always a vertigo between the day when we know nothing about something and the day when we do.

In this moment of uncertainty, there’s nothing like relying on what we already know. We can proceed through analogies and comparisons to understand a related field. This intellectual flexibility allows for quicker learning through transfers. "It’s like..." is also a good way to rephrase a seemingly abstract concept to understand it in terms of one’s own experience.
