learning

The social system is taking on a form in which finding out what you want to do is less and less of an option because your life is too structured, organised, controlled and disciplined.

...You can't unlearn something, even if you want to. You know what you know.

You see, unlearning is a very important process towards becoming enlightened, because in this life you will have learned wrong ways and those wrong ways that you have learned are barriers blocking you from becoming who you really are, therefore it is vital that they are unlearned.

Education is the process of turning cocksure ignorance into thoughtful uncertainty.

The best way to get kids to read a book is to say: 'This book is not appropriate for your age, and it has all sorts of horrible things in it like sex and death and some really big and complicated ideas, and you__e better off not touching it until you__e all grown up. I__ going to put it on this shelf and leave the room for a while. Don__ open it.

If we can keep ourselves from interfering with the natural laws of life, mistakes can be our child's finest teachers.

I would go to parties and say I was an editor, and people, especially women _ and that was important to me back then _ would say, __h, really?_ and raise their eyebrows and look at me a little more carefully. I remember the first party I went to after I became a teacher, someone asked me what I did for a living, and I said, __ell, I teach high school._ He looked over my shoulder, nodded his head, said, __ went to high school,_ and walked away.Once I repeated this anecdote around a big table full of Mexican food in the garden at a place called La Choza in Chicago, and Becky Mueller, another teacher at the school, said that I was a __toryteller._ I liked that. I was looking for something to be other than __ust_ a teacher, and __toryteller_ felt about right. I am a teacher and a storyteller in that order. I have made my living and my real contribution to my community as a teacher, and I have been very lucky to have found that calling, but all through the years I have entertained myself and occasionally other people by telling stories.

I don't know what to do, and if I did know what to do I wouldn't tell you, because if I had to tell you today then I'd have to tell you tomorrow, and when I'm gone you'd have to get somebody else to tell you.

But one of the things I have learned during the time I have spent in the United States is an old African American saying: Each one, teach one. I want to believe that I am here to teach one and, more, that there is one here who is meant to teach me. And if we each one teach one, we will make a difference.

What I learned on my own I still remember

To learn how to do, we need something real to focus on _ not a task assigned by someone else, but something we want to create, something we want to understand. Not an empty exercise but a meaningful, self-chosen undertaking.

I have learned to read the papers calmly and not to hate the fools I read about.

The years teach us much, which the days never knew.

Time is money, but money isn't time

My master wishes to see you," said the mounted man."When the planting's done," I said."Lord Barton is unaccustomed to waiting.""Then he should rejoice, for he'll learn something new today." I went back to the garden. Soon the servant left.

To truly learn from someone or something, one must first learn to love them.

History can teach us so much, and yet we seem to learns so little.

Learn good things from professionals but do not change like professional,it doesn't mean on what position they are..
