OTHER WAYS OF LEARNING

Investing in your passive learning can open up a world of knowledge that transcends traditional classroom methods. Instead of sitting on a chair, writing notes from textbooks, consider the wisdom that surrounds you in everyday life. As journalist Walter Bagehot wisely remarked in 1859, “The world is often wiser than any philosopher.” This sentiment rings true today more than ever. I remember, about this issue, when I was studying with Mike and he asked our class to go outside and to prepare one photo essay. I still have these pictures and I learned a lot, just observing the Philly environment. Looking at people and their habits offers profound lessons. When we take a moment to observe our environment, we discover interconnectedness among various fields of knowledge. In essence, passive learning is about embracing the richness of life experiences. By immersing ourselves in the world around us—through nature, diverse conversations, literature, and travel—we cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and the intricate tapestry of human experience. So, step beyond the confines of traditional learning methods and allow the world to be your greatest teacher
