Learning is a part of life. There's always something we've never before encountered. Do you remember the first time you had to set the clock in your car? Do you remember what it was like to get your first computer or iPad? We've all laughed about the trouble associated with programming a DVD (or VHS) recorder.

Learning is motivated by cognitive dissonance. That's just our way of identifying gap between what we know and what we need to know. If there isn't a gap, learning won't take place. So, the first step to learning something new is to identify the gap.
