"Teach a man to fish...." Learning To Learn

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime".
This is a well known quote that explains exactly what my vision is for New Age Learning Solutions.  Teach someone how to learn and the there is not much than cannot be done.

We live in a world where information is readily available at our very fingertips, but taking advantage of it is not always as easy as it seems.  Although we as humans have an awesome ability and gift to learn complex things, learning in itself is a process and when steps are not followed, we often set ourselves up for failure.

I have decided to take my education and experience, and create an environment where anyone can go to learn about learning.  It does not matter what you are looking to learn, I can help point you in the right direction, and help you to find the tools you need to add new skills to your repertoire.

I will do my best to keep my blog posts short and informative so you can spend your time researching and implementing the new knowledge you will find.  Whether you want to learn an instrument, how to fix your car, math and english skills, philosophy, or any other topic, the information is out there, and I will help you to find it.

I will start you off with my favourite learning site, GCF|LearnFree.  If you are looking for step by step tutorials in math, english, resume writing, Microsoft Office classes (free certification), or how to use your android tablet/ipad, then this site has exactly what you need to start gaining the skills you want.

I am driven to help people who are suffering with mental health issues and chronic pain disorders mostly.  There is an abundance of information on the internet that can help sufferers lessen their symptoms while offering coping mechanisms as well.  It is my goal to connect people with information which will reduce suffering and give them the ability to build their inner self back up.

Look forward to more solution based and strength building information here, and learn to take control of your happiness and well-being.

Learning To Learn

The intent of my blog is not to teach, it is to help you learn.  Although I have some education in this field and a good amount of experience in the things I write about, I do not consider myself an expert in any of these things.  I simply want to share what I do know and help you onto the path of learning for yourself.  I don't expect anyone to take my words as law, I hope that you will question everything you read along the way and form your own opinions.

I have worked through many issues on my own over the years and have found a lot of good knowledge that helped me get onto the positive path I have taken, but I will continue to learn as long as I am able to.  If you are reading this post then you already have the ability to read, or at least have a way to receive the information.  The information I am providing is my own insight into mental health issues, and its purpose is to make you think and to start your own learning path.

I have  no intent to give advice since that is not my purpose.  I will share information and make some suggestions, but what you do with the information is totally up to you.  I know that you can learn the information to help you move forward onto a more positive path in life no matter where you are at in your life.  I do hope that you will ask questions along your journey and find the best possible information which will help you to improve your quality of life.

I simply have an inner calling to help others where I can and this is my way of doing so.  After working with many young adults and youth over the past few years, I learned that the best way to help them was to help them learn for themselves.  There is an old say that 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink'.  I am going to do my best to lead people to learning but you will need to teach yourself.

I will say again, question everything, because this is what provides the passion to keep moving forward in your learning.  I hope that the words I write are helping you find your way to better mental health, and as long as people keep reading, I will keep writing.  My hope is that others will eventually want to share parts of their journey here on the blog and that more helpers will emerge.  We all have experience and knowledge of things that others need to improve their lives.

Inspire others to inspire others is a big part of my premise.  We are living in a time where mental health issues are rising to epidemic levels and we all need to play our part if we want to stop this growth.  This is what I am doing to play my part and I am hoping to inspire you to either do the same, or at least improve your own quality of life.

Have a peaceful day and be well
