Learning

At the symposium in NUS, I learned that there are 6 levels of learning:

* data
* information
* knowledge
* understanding
* insight
* wisdom

Most schools prepare the students only for the first 3 stages. Their focus is to prepare the students to "make a living". It is better to educate them "to live a life".

Some ideas about learnng:

* it is an attitude
* learning is part of living
* approach life in a learning mode
* to learn, one must have an enquiring mind
* one can be wise at a young age
* an older person with a closed mind has probably stopped learning at 20

Some interesting thoughts.
