Lesson 3: Knowing Yourself Value: Learning Person: Abraham Lincoln
Personality • Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) • Value: Learning
Lesson 1: You are Your Own Best Teacher • Emulation • Following after someone • Role Taking • Setting yourself a goal and doing everything (and being everything) to achieve it • Practical accomplishment • Turning problems into ways of learning • Validation • Examining facts after the events • Anticipation • Developing a hypothesis and then applying it • Personal growth • integration of values and attitudes • Scientific learning • experimentation
Lesson 2: Accept Responsibility. Blame No One • No one but you are the result of where you are • No one but you can change the result of where you want to be • If you have failed, don’t give up trying • If you have succeeded, don’t stop trying
Lesson 3: You can learn anything you want to learn • Not just ‘book learning’ but integrating everything you are seeing, hearing, thinking into a coherent reality, and then changing it • The ‘appetite to have experience’ • DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FAILING! • Action: Coursera!
Lesson 4: True understanding comes from reflecting on your experience • After much learning and ‘experiencing’, we must step back and think about what we have done • What was good/bad according to our initial goals/intentions? • Have we achieved what we set out to do? If not, why? • Discussion of Coursera Learning
Summary • YOU MAKE THE REAL YOU • Learn everything
