Daily Inspire!
 

Transition to Scholar
 
Transition to Scholar is a sub-phase of Love of Learning that deserves special treatment.
Pre-adolescents kind of have their foot in both Love and Learning and Scholar worlds, and need to be free to be either/both/neither as the day may be.
 
 
 
The Lessons of Transition to Scholar
  • Learning never ends.
  • Learning is used in adult life.
  • I will someday educate children as part of the cycle of life.
  • Learning combines doing with talking with practice (and later with thinking).
  • Imitation speeds up the learning process.
  • Unconscious creation needs to be followed by conscious work.
  • *There is not an answer to everything (but there is to the most *important things).
  • Character flaws hurt.
  • I can contribute to society (or make the mistake of trying to achieve to impress).
  • I have an impact on my own future.
  • Mom and Dad have flaws.
  • Mom and Dad also have authority, so I live in a potential tyranny that must be closely watched.
  • There are other cultures, many of which are different than my own.
