Personal Narrative: My Experiences with Learning Processes

Learning is a vast processes and this starts from the time when we first open our eyes to see the world. Later complicacy starts as we grow up and learning forms a particular path to tackle this complicacy. This process is formed by the human being and human being only followed this path and he is still following. Learning is basically knowing something that is not known before or rather doing something which is not done before. It could be learning through teaching or experience. Thus learning is combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. When they put theoretical knowledge to practical use and is able to get some result out of the same. Learning has got various purposes, knowing the difference between different learning stages, evaluating ones strengths and weaknesses, develop action plans. Learning styles lead to self development. Self-development is basically personal development. It is about improving personal knowledge, skills and performance.

And being a pragmatist my strengths are get interested in technical oriented practical and realistic ideas and getting straight to the point. My weaknesses are not getting interested in theory and preferred more people oriented than task oriented. After going through all the other styles of learning I have found that to be a perfect hotelier and be successful it is very important to have a balanced approach in imbibing different styles of learning in different situation.
