Learning & the Achievement of Greatness

0 comments By Aaron Filed in Growth & Development Tagged with education, learning, mindset February 15th, 2010 @ 7:14 am

When I first read The Only Way to Become Amazingly Great at Something, I thought of my own post How to Learn–It’s Not Studying. The posts rely on the similar notion that practice and effort cause results. Results achieved without effort are discovered, at least eventually I hope, when reputation and expectation must deliver in a new situation. A lesson, sadly I feel, lost on too many of today’s youth as they strike out to pursue their dreams.
