Learning Styles They know enough who know how to learn. HENRY ADAMS (1838–1918)
ou have already learned many things in life and you will learn many more. You may learn to play the piano, or how to play chess, or how to fix a car. However, have you ever thought about how you go about learning these things? Have you thought about the action your brain takes to complete this process we call “learning”? This chapter will demonstrate three different ways people learn. After learning these methods, you will become a better student if you take the time to apply what you have learned. Reading this book is an opportunity to become a better learner. There are many ways to go about this. Some students think they will learn everything on their own and without suggestion, while other students seek out ways to improve their ability to learn and succeed. Most of you probably fall somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. Therefore, while reading this book, think about what kind of student, employee, and person you are setting out to be. Your life and your goals are built of these elements.
