The place where a 1 minute flash postings will take an idea about what learning is, what it isn't and how it works. Hopefully you will add an idea to construct a deeper understanding. Click COMMENTS link to respond.
Personally, I think this lesson ties in nicely with the previous one about where we're planted. I find that when I'm placed in the 'scrap heap' (for lack of a better term), out of pure desperation, it's the only time I'll be willing to learn the lesson around me that are required to grow. Long after the fact, I'll generally come to the realization, that's the best place I could have been.
So the question I have to ask myself is why I need to place myself in the dump before I'm willing to learn anything? I think it's precisely because of the fact that I don't go slowly and learn what I can when things are moving along confortably. That seems to be when I'm obstinate to and unrecptive to what surrounds me and there's a price to pay for that. For one, I'm missing out on something, plus, I'm likely leading myself down a road where I'm going to learn it anyway, except it will be the hard way (with me asking myself how I got here again). So this is an important point to put into practice.
