Life Experiences and Learning


I read the following quote on the web this morning. I am still trying to decide if I think it is true.

“The more life change events an adult encounters, the more likely he or she is to seek out learning opportunities. Just as stress increases as life-change events accumulate, the motivation to cope with change through engagement in a learning experience increases.”

Can it be true that the more we have experienced, the more we want to learn? I am going to have to think about this and come up with some examples.

I can buy into that. It's not about what happens to you but rather what you do with the experience. With every experience there is a learned process bringing you to the next level.
