In his talk "A Child of God", Elder Eyring strongly urges each of us to remember that we are all children of a loving Heavenly Father and that He has a plan of salvation for us. This remembrance is a great tool to create within each of us a sense of humility and aid us in our pursuit of educational excellence. Humility is a strength and not a weakness. As we develop humility we change our behavioral characteristics and ultimately become more effective learners. Elder Eyring teaches us five principles of great learners that we can acquire as a result of humility. They are:
1. They welcome correction.
2. They keep commitments.
3. They work hard.
4. They help other people.
and 5. They expect resistance and overcome it.
This talk greatly influenced me to want to do better in my own learning. I feel a greater desire to strive for humility in my life. As we become more humble, we are quite literally blessed as a result.
Ukulele music is good----how about some more posts? I like how you have numbered the list of good characteristics since now you can review them quickly.
