That's Sok Sidon, a blogger I met in Cambodia. He is trainer and you learn more about his background on his blog's about page. He wrote a post called "Learning and Teaching Methods for Self-Development" where he talks about 7 principles for reflection. The 5th and 7th principles reflect some of my core values for this blog:
"Teach other of what you have learnt"
"Many heads are better than one"
He goes to describe what these mean:
Try to build leaders surrounding you. Do not afraid that others will be better than you. It will not decrease your ability, but it even help to improve your knowledge and capacity. We will create a multiplied impact.
Our plan is kept improving by sharing with others. Also we can build our social communication and characters. Competency without Character, we fail. But Competency with Character, we will achieve our goal.
What are your principles for personal learning?
Great list and great question. I particularly love the phrase, "Competency with Character." That says SO much. I also love the concept of sharing--sort of that "you'll get back from the world what you give to it."
For me, I'd add:
**Don't worry about making mistakes
**Make time for reflection.
**Don't be afraid to ask--and don't think you have to know everything.
**Take risks
**Experiment
