Successful mantra used by each individual

 

Learn, unlearn, relearn: the success Mantra

For thousands of years, every civilization has valued learning. Now, learning alone is not enough. To be successful you must master the learn, unlearn, relearn cycle of success.

Why? Because in a rapidly changing world, unlearning and relearning are just as important as learning. It’s no longer about continuous, acquisitive learning.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Alvin Tofler


What should you learn?

More than ever, there is a need to learn and keep learning. But in our ‘always on’ world it’s a challenge to know what to learn.

To help you focus, explore your medium and long-term goals. To achieve those goals, do you need to improve your performance in your current role, prepare for future roles, develop your current expertise, or broaden your expertise into other fields?

Learning:

Learning can take place through formal education or informal training. Formal education involves attending classes and studying books while informal training takes place when someone teaches us something by example. In both cases, we learn from others who already know about certain topics. We may not understand everything they say but we pick up bits and pieces here and there which helps us grow.

Unlearning:

Unlearning means letting go of old habits and ways of thinking. This happens naturally over time as we mature and gain experience. However, sometimes we need to consciously unlearn bad habits and negative beliefs. For instance, if you want to become better at sales, then you must first let go of all the bad habits associated with selling. If you don’t, you won’t improve.

The learn, unlearn, relearn cycle

You also need to know what to give up.

Unlearning is giving up what is no longer true, or relevant, or helpful.

We learn, then the world changes. We need to unlearn what is holding us back, and we need to relearn what will help us move forwards towards success.

Four types of unlearning

1. Knowledge and assumptions

2. Unlearning and relearning skills

3. Habits & behaviors

4. Self-identity

The process of unlearning and relearning

There’s no magic to this. We need to be open to change. This involves:

  1. Willingness to accept the challenge
  2. Perseverance in the face of adversity
  3. The desire to embrace a ‘new you’
