Ric,
How many people do you know named "<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Nasrudin"? Did you create this character
yourself or from what book did you derive it?
Thanks,
Norman

Subject: [RT] PSYCH:Capacity to
Learn
Hi,Most of us have a capacity to learn and
improve. Often, however, hope for improvement is confused
with capacity to learn.It is very different - this email is about one
common source of that difference.We all have inner tendencies that get
in our way when we want to learn.Often we seek diversion as a priority
over genuine aspiration for knowledge.This need for diversion shows up
as one or more
of: - "I
came here for
fun.", - "I
know how I learn
best", - "I
want to learn in this
sequence", - ...and
it tends to get in the way of learning.As an example there is an old
tale about the sequence of learning. Nasrudin wanted
to learn to play a musical instrument. The fee was five silver
pieces for the first lesson and three silver pieces for the second and
subsequent lessons. 'Very well', said Nusrudin, 'I'll start with the
second lesson.'Often to learn we have
to: - unlearn
something
first, - relinquish
existing
beliefs, - digest
the new
ideas, - integrate
the new
ideas, - ...Many
of us do not find that fun at all, having poor recollections of school days
learning. This may be part of the reason we put up barriers to
learning.So those looking for diversion find their latent capacity to
learn suppressed by their own inner tendencies.Sad really, but not a
hopeless situation. Sometimes just awareness of the inner tendency
to seek diversion is sufficient to overcome it. Sometimes it
requires more work. But perhaps everyone has a capacity to learn
if freed from self-imposed barriers.A light-hearted approach to
learning works well - it eases the process of give and take of ideas, makes
changes in beliefs and attitudes occur more readily, opens the eyes to new
vistas and perceptions.It is when a light-hearted approach is based on
a need for diversion that there is usually a problem.People with a
need for diversion often express this as
: - complaints
about style, or length, or paragraph
style, - ask
where is the fun or
joke, - behave
in a child-like
manner, - execute
their strong
emotions, - seek
crowd
support, - become
self-righteous when they perceive crowd support is
available, - seek
excuses to reject the
opportunity, - see
selling where there is
none, - attack
the individual rather than the
idea, - take
the impersonal
personally, - ...We
all suffer from this to some degree.Are you going to release your
potential to learn? If so, you probably need to address your inner
tendencies.May your potential be realised,
Ric.To
