Learning through osmosis

I'm fascinated by knowledge.  I love to always be learning new things.  I think the most awesome thing about it all though, is that there are always new things to learn!   I mean even today I learned a couple of interesting things just by sitting and talking for a few minutes at work.  I learn also by listening to iTunes U courses and most of the time I'm doing other activities while I'm listening to that.  So I can't even really be attentively and actively learning.  But I seem to retain things just through osmosis.

I think if you have an interest in something you can just pretty much start doing it and you'll pick things up.  You'll slowly get better and better at it.  And then the learning really takes off and you start to really get good.  I feel like that's a fun way to learn because it's a no pressure approach.  You are just sort of there and being exposed to it and learning small things here and there until eventually all those small things really start to click together and become a huge thing!

I'm convinced that's the best way that I learn.  I just start doing it and playing and tinkering and eventually I figure it out.  I'm a big trial and error kind of person.  I make a lot of mistakes at first but then I quickly learn and make less and less mistakes.  Eventually it all starts to get smoothed out and I really start to understand how it works.  I'm good at just kind of doing and absorbing the knowledge.

So that was my thought of the day that I felt like blogging about.  Actually my thought of the day was how did we come up with birthday cake?  I was thinking why a cake?  Why not a salad!  Or... a burrito!  A birthday burrito!  I think the best reason that I could think of for a cake was... it holds candles pretty well.  While other items are ok at holding candles... a cake... well... takes the cake!
