Positivity Project - Love of Learning
WHAT DOES LOVE OF LEARNING
MEAN?
You master new skills and topics on your own
or in school.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Developing a love of learning is highly
beneficial for an individual. It means they
are intrinsically motivated to deepen their
existing skills and abilities or learn
something completely new. Individuals
who love learning have the desire and
ability to overcome challenges due to a
sense of autonomy and control over their
environment.
“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order
that I may learn how to do it.”
– Pablo Picasso
