Still the sentence popped up when I was thinking about my learning. When I try to identify moments in the last years where I really had the feeling I was learning something it were 'and then it happened' moments. It's a bit like an 'aha moment'.
It's those moments where I hear myself talking, or see myself writing and, in a way, am surprised about myself. Where I think:'Yes! that's it'.
When it's in writing it's obvious, more clear. Thoughts, discussions, things I read, experiences suddenly appear on paper into a coherent kind of thinking. For me when I have written down things I kind of own them, it's added to my consciousness. Which didn't, before that moment, happen to all these thoughts, talks, bubbles etc. So the moment I'm writing it down feels like the moment I've learned something.
But it's not only in writing. It happens also in meetings, formal and informal, that I find myself suddenly saying quite smart things. Well...not that I say mostly only stupid things when talking to people (although that also happens). But it's those moments that I, mostly to my own surprise, suddenly bring many things together which leads then to something that makes sense, that produces something new. (anyway in my thinking)
It's not really a planned way of learning. But at the same time it is the result of having been focussed on a certain topic for a while. And then...... ' and then it happened'
