Many people (as,goes,in,learning,of,on,something,that,think) a classroom. True, we do learn much of our basic knowledge at school. I myself have spent about 20 years studying at various schools and universities. Learning, however, should not stop when one leaves the classroom. (A), the really enjoyable and interesting learning actually begins where formal education leaves off.
This sort of self-learning is very different from the learning of academics. In formal education, although we can choose our fields of study, the actual content of the lessons is always constructed by textbooks, curriculums and tests. Self-learning, on the other hand, is totally free and open. There are no boundary lines to limit or channel our interests. This means that not only can we choose from a virtually unlimited menu of subjects, but also change or redirect our learning at will.
Just to give a few examples, my own self-learning, for the moment at least, includes geology, botany, and zoology, especially entomology and marine biology. These are all topics that I have never studied formally at school, but have developed an interest in later on in life. (B), in any one of these topics, there is much more than I cnuld possibly learn in 100 life-times. The point of self-learning, however, is not to master a subject thoroughly, but to allow ones curiousity to take the lead. While in formal education or in the world of academics this approach would be frowned on, in self-learning, everything is left up to the interests of the individual.
With self-learning, I can concentrate all my efforts on the aspects that interest me most. (C), I love insects, and although I've never looked at an insect though a microscope, I thoroughly enjoy learning about how they live and how their bodies are put together. To organize my self-learning, I divided them up into several basic groups, such as dragonflies or cicadas. I also try to observe and identify a few common local species belonging to each group.
As you can see, self-learning requires no formal training. Anyone can start from nothing, anytime, anywhere. Once a field of interest or topic is developed, there is always something nearby to excite one's curiosity.
