Four Good Learning Attitudes - the 4 "H"s

Honesty, Humbleness, Hard Work, and a Heart of Empathy

Honesty

Being honest is an important character for good learners. Good learners never pretend they understand if they don't. For them honesty is a must. If they can't understand what they are taught, they will admit their ignorance. They accept that they will sometimes fail or make mistakes. However, their curiosity makes them not be afraid of making mistakes. This means they will look for the possible explanation for their mistakes. They will seek authority's advice for the right answer.

Humbleness

With humbleness, good learners put aside their pride. Thus, their teachers favour them. Their humbleness helps them understand the root causes of problems. Their respect to the authority makes them approachable to the right person for advice. Learning with the right source of information is like planting a tree by stream of knowledge water that helps them grow intellectually and yield fruit in season.

Hard Work

Hard work is another important attitude that help good learners absorb information. Without real effort, it is almost impossible to make learning happen. It is an accelerator to achieve any goal the learners have set for themselves.

Heart of Empathy

Heart of Empathy is the source of motivation. With empathy, good learners can easily understand another person's feelings and needs because they can easily imagine themselves being in a similar situation. Heart of empathy is what keeps them moving. They want to learn because they need the knowledge to be better able to help those in need. A heart of empathy is a gate that help to open up insightful knowledge for them. The ability to gain insights of a unique situation can push them to another level of wisdom.
