Don't just give me title and artist, tell me about the song. Why do you connect with it? Is it the lyric (what in particular?) or the music (why? - tempo, instruments etc). I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Happy Tuesday everyone! I was thinking about all the different learning styles over the weekend and I thought that it would be a great if you could tell me the best ways for you to learn. Do you learn by reading, or by listening or by doing it yourself? Is it enough for someone to give you verbal instructions? Or to show you how? Or to write them down? Or by letting you do it yourself. When you research learning styles one educational psychologist (Howard Gardner) came up with seven different categories Which one best suits you? Or are you a combination of a few? Are you able to give me examples of how you best learn?
My Learning I am a combination of learning styles and it can be dependent upon the situation. When I am training with my PT it works best if he lets me do (body kinaesthetic). When committing to facts to memory chants/songs etc work for me (musical) and I am also a linguistic learner - reading allows me to explore new ideas and create a sense of understanding. Overall, I am drawn to Interpersonal as relating to others is the essence of my life. How do you know if you love someone or something? I think you just know. However sometimes it can be really hard recognise 'it' until later. Undoubtedly, and without reservation I love my children. Not because I have to, but because it comes as naturally to me as breathing. I still remember the moment Mitchell was put into my arms - The intensity of the love I felt for him from that moment was incredible. I didn't think it was possible to love anyone, or anything as much as I loved him . . . and then I had four more! I learnt that the heart has an almost infinite capacity for love.
I think that the actions of those of someone in love speak of their affection for that person or thing. It is almost always approached with enthusiasm, encouraged and developed with care and not spoken ill of. I reckon this is pretty much the same regardless of whether that love is romantic, platonic, of your job or of your hobbies. Love makes your tummy leap with butterflies of happiness. It makes your smile when you think of what it is you love. Your body can tingle - right from the tips of your fingers down to the tips of your toes. You feel alive. It can be all consuming. It can be your life's calling. Love is not always easy and I know love can hurt . . . a lot. This quote by Vincent Van Gough sums it up nicely “It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” |
