The Restless Learner
Yesterday, I had a person describe me as a “restless learner.“ Of course, this prompted me to think about the question, “Just what is a restless learner?” It turns out there is a definition. Warren Berger in A More Beautiful Question (2014) defined the restless learner as, “a person who can never be comfortable with her/his own expertise in the face of rapid knowledge advancements, research revisions, and obsolescence of facts.” This sums me up pretty well. I want to be a critical thinker who is constantly evaluating what I know and what I need to learn. I am always curious, seeking out knowledge and experiences that expand my understanding of the world.
It’s that constant desire to learn and explore new things. As a restless learners Ian are not satisfied with staying in my comfort zones or sticking to what I already know. Instead, I try to actively seek out opportunities to grow and challenge myself intellectually. I am open-minded, adaptable, and willing to embrace change in order to continue their journey of learning. I’m a proud restless learner, how about you?
