Learn, Unlearn, Relearn


Not so philosophically speaking, the illiterate are not those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

“In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” -- Eric Hoffer

Learning comes in various forms and at various stages: Youngsters simply learn just by carrying out their daily lives; people learn within institutions prior to embarking into the corporate world, which teaches entirely differently.

The readier we are for learning new things in life, the more flexible we become to cope up with challenges of life.

The sole process of learning, unlearning, and relearning gets you closer to the reality, and makes you a better being. This is how you can ride the tide of changes. So, be what you want to be, otherwise you would be what you don’t want to be.

I love that Hoffer quote. I heard it at a technology workshop yesterday and can't get it out of my head. "Learn, relearn and unlearn." It's the wave of current life for sure. Has a lot of deep spiritual meaning, as well. I really like your blog!
