Learn Through Experience

These Chinese characters represent the concept of “learning.” The first character means to study. It is composed of two parts: a symbol that means “to accumulate knowledge” above a symbol for a child in a doorway. The second character means to practice constantly, and it shows a bird developing the ability to leave the nest. The upper symbol represents flying; the lower symbol, youth. For the oriental mind, learning is on-going. “Study” and “practice constantly” together, suggest that learning should mean: “mastery of the way of self-improvement”.

The roots of the English word for learning suggest that it once held a similar meaning. It originated with the Indo-European “leis”, a noun meaning “track” or “furrow”. To “learn” came to mean gaining experience by following a path, presumably for a lifetime.
