Humans were made to learn and, like eating, sleeping, and moving, learning is essential for life. We are natural-born learners; right from the beginning we instinctively absorb vast amounts of information. But learning is more than just an instinct – learning is a pleasure. Or at least it should be.
Admittedly, I haven’t always found learning such a pleasure. I did well in school in the earlier grades but with each passing year, the task of assimilating information became more burdensome. In the final year of high school, my academic performance was witheringly ordinary. I put it down to burnout but secretly carried with me into adulthood a lingering suspicion that I was a bit dense.
However, when I was about 30, I stumbled across the concept of learning styles. I took a quiz and the results literally changed my life.

Such an interesting topic. To my surprise my dominant learning style is different to what I once thought - that questionnaire helped confirm that. Now it all just makes sense. I look forward to diving deeper into this topic. Thank you for this weeks article - this will continue to be of great benefit in the future.
Great reminder about the different types of learning styles - thanks!
