Learning never exhausts the mind

Learning 
According to missiontolearn.(2011), Jeff Cobb has said that learning is "the lifelong process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes". 

Community-learning (2012)

Learn is to acquire knowledge or skills which is vary from person to person. 

1. Children    - Identify objects at an early age 
2. Teenagers -  Improve study habits
3. Adults       -  Solve complex problems

Learning strategies are different  in relation to the individual's way of thinking,feeling and the experience of a human-being. 


Characteristics of Learning
As a result of experience learning is modifying. Therefore the characteristics should be carefully used.This process can be quite complex because the influence of individual learn is unequal. 
To be effective in learning the characteristics require are;

•  purposeful 
•  result of experience
•  multifaceted 
• active process

Learning Styles
Main concept of this is that it's improving the student success. It is concerned with student preferences and orientation at several levels based on the  students personality, social interaction. The learning pyramid is representing how students use the leaning styles in the studies.

Profilingforsuccess (2006)

The diagram in the right side explains the theory of learning styles, represents that learning should be maximised when the preferences match learning experiences. Understanding the learning styles therefore helps to:

• recognise the ‘style’ of different learning situations
• maximise learning according to preferred style matches the learning environment
• recognise learning environments that may find difficult
• develop strategies to help deal with difficult learning environments
• shape the personal learning environments and strategies to make learning most effective.

Seven approaches to learning

These are the main seven approaches to leaning for anybody.

1. Learning can be an adventure
2. use many senses
3. Identify what attracts 
4. Use active learning 
5. Take responsibility for own learning
6. Trust in your own intelligence
7. Recognize own learning preferences

Learning is difficult when a person is stressed / bored. So lecturers as well the books use the method make people interesting. As a degree student the  author and other friends should find a way to make learning enjoyable. So its known as Learning can be an adventure.

Human-beings use senses to perform different types of things, specially using several senses gives the brain more connections and make easier to find the detailed information later. As there are different techniques followed by lecturer according to the theories are using more senses.

If people keep desirable outcomes in mind its easier to learn. But writing essays, meeting deadlines, studying for exams are less smart for some students. But these are attractive to the for the author as, author had faced to many competitions Island wide and International wide. So its bringing satisfaction to the author. But those who not should find the ways how to attract things.

- According to my voice i enjoy writing essays, finishing work according to deadlines etc and completing the degree in 2014 (expect). These authors imaginations will catch achievements in the life.

This is an important concept to follow by the books as if there are active engagement in the topic students are active for learning that. This is know as active learning.

People should get full responsibility to the spelling and grammar in the universities as there is no time to correct those thing. As a university student need to pay more attention on this than college years. To this ensure that student is ready to face this challenge. This is take responsibility for own learning.

Students think that they are not intelligent in this particular model in the program which was done in the school previously and worry about that. But some are more intelligent than the school days; it is the ability of a student. 

- Author was not very talented in Maths in school before the O/L. But practiced the same sum over and over and faced that challenge bravely i O/L. Authors parents got afraid of this weakness. But author should the excellent in the O/L by achieving a "A" pass. And also in Foundation in APIIT author well did Maths well using the intelligence. So now author is brave in Maths as author can use the intelligence. 

Each and every person use the individual ways to learn different things. Some are visual, auditory and kinaesthetic where theorists divide the person to a type. 

Being aware of the learning of own is the positive of the learning for people in the world.
