At one of our LearningSuccess classes, all of a sudden a mom that was attending blurted out: I get it - learning doesn't have to hurt!
Wow, what a terrific insight! We asked her if we could borrow that phrase and she said yes. It has become Law #1 of our three LearningSuccess Laws.
Why do people think that learning has to hurt? No pain, no gain? Baloney! Learning happens at its best when it is enjoyable and fun and exciting!
Notice: We are not saying that it doesn't take work - we are saying that it doesn't have to hurt.
And guess what...when it is enjoyable and fun and exciting, a person will put his/her whole heart and soul into it and work his/her tail off!
So, how does learning become enjoyable, fun and exciting? Any ideas? Join the conversation!
