Learning as a Way of Life
What I Learned
“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” People go through their whole lives trying to figure out who they are, look for a sense of purpose or belonging, or attempt to discover the right path for them-self. The lucky ones have somehow found what ever it is they were looking for throughout their journey. They try to teach the people who are still looking how to find their way but often fail because it is not up to them where or how someone else should live their life. It is up to the individual himself to find fulfillment.

It wasn’t until asked in this assignment, what you learned about yourself, did I put the brakes on life and stop to think, what have I learned about myself? I’ve always been traveling on a smooth but slightly rocky road full speed ahead never looking through the rearview mirror back at life. I realize that I’ve been cruising through school, relationships, work, and life not knowing or having the slightest idea of where I’m going or what I’m doing. I begin to panic and look for SMART goals in the glove compartment but find it empty because I have not made any recent ones. For the first time in my life I feel lost.
A strength that I learned stated on the Myers-Briggs assessment is that I am an innovative thinker and excellent problem solver. I find this to be true because whether it is conflict at home, school, work, within myself, or with another individual, I’ve always been able to smooth out differences. Working as a supervisor for a high-end commission-based retail store conflicts occasionally arise. I’ve learned to develop reflective-awareness where I consider my behavior as I observe it. (Arkoff)
