“He who does purposeless learning gets nowhere, for the purpose of learning is to enable you to get to where you want to go. The purpose is not just to pile up a bunch of information for its own sake, so that one looks good but can go nowhere in life. The purpose of learning is to achieve the purpose of getting better results in life, for the purpose of creating the happiest, most effective, and best experience of life itself!”
The BuddhaKahuna
We often fail to see that a life of impulses or of piecemeal approaches to learning life will lead us to a fractured life, not holding together well and not one of power or happiness.
When we pile things up and then attack them, even in a reasonable order, and read and try to learn from them, we fall into the pit of going almost nowhere, but with a lot of effort and time consumed!
We think we can learn a piece here and a piece there and somehow be able to retain it, return to our train of thought and have it all hold together in meaning and perspective so we can live it in our lives. But, please, notice that this approach is not working. It does not work. I will not work. It is just plain the wrong way to go, perhaps better than nothing but not better enough, as it is sacrificing all the unused, unexperienced potential of life.
No, the secret is deep and continuous, connected learning.
