I believe that the best way to learn is to adapt and exact when the urge strikes, for that is when the mind is most receptive to learning and absorbing new things on a deeper level. Some spend an inordinate amount of time thinking things through—to death—so much so, that by the time they act, any hope of enthusiasm or creative license is lost.
I’m not implying that folks shouldn’t consider the possibilities of their actions ahead of time. They should. I’m referring to how, if a person allows himself or herself the freedom to enter a situation with an open mind and a willingness to learn by trial, error and experimentation, instead of being fearful of making mistakes, then the knowledge they’ll gain and retain is likely to be more profound. Also, if a person is comfortable with a little more spontaneity, then they’ll be exposed to a wider spectrum of opportunities from which they might learn.
Sticking to a rigid agenda does have its place in each of our lives. But there are times when we need to be willing to set aside that agenda, or at least bend it, to allow for things we hadn’t expected—opportunities to grow and expand not only our selves, but our perception of the world around us.
