That Cycle To LEARN-DO-REPEAT
Isn't this so elementary, so basic for us to talk about That Cycle To LEARN-DO-REPEAT? Yes supposedly we should NOT be wasting our precious time for this kind of thread BUT are we aware that this is a problem lying beneath all that is obvious, all that is seen, all that is heard? Because ALMOST all of us, and that includes me until recently, [wrongly] thought that all these are no-brainers, that although when compartmentalized, to LEARN, to DO and to REPEAT all are seemingly straightforward but what is overlooked is that all these are intertwined❗❗❗
What is equally overlooked is that learning is NOT only a lifelong process BUT surprisingly, it runs through courses of ZIGZAGs that will make one dizzy at the very least. And as we are all aware of JIGSAW PUZZLES, they are no different from all the ZIGZAGs which do feature TRAPS, most of which are dead-ends and some are FATAL dead-ends. Point here is that life is NEVER that straightforward, NEVER linear even in the best scenario❎❎❎So what is/are our shortfalls[s]? Here's the truth. SOME of us are so focused in LEARNING & LEARNING [and they expect a 'BIG BANG' once they complete all their LEARNINGS? Some of us are doggedly DOERs, the hands-on types, which by itself, is laudable BUT after they stumble. they go and plunge back to RE-DO and RE-DO [missing out to LEARN & REFRESH]πππAnd here's a quite funny thing. Despite all the leaps in technologies, why on Earth did the brightest gurus realized that there is a need to have a REFRESH button? Simple. Much as we humans need to REFRESH our learnings from time to time, even technology needs that REFRESH button. At work, REFRESHER TRAININGS are embedded in our normal practices simply as an appreciation and recognition that everyone needs a REFRESHER LEARNING regardless of his level of knowledge over time. So, let;s NOT debate on our need to REFRESHπππOh, this is another pitfall most of us have had. Once we commit lapses, we kept REPEATING, REPEATING and REPEATING over and over again. When we should reassess things, identify the root cause[s] of our shortfalls, rectify it before you go to REPEAT and REPEAT. One last plea. Let us consistently embrace this LEARN-DO-REPEAT Cycle over and over again because no other practice beats thisπππ
