Do you know how the learning process actually happens?

The learning process is truly magical. Much of what we learn involves modifying existing neural circuits rather than creating entirely new structures from scratch. 

For instance, learning a new language involves reconfiguring areas of the brain already used for processing sounds, meaning, and grammar in your native language. Even though we’re reorganizing existing structures, the combinations of connections and the patterns of activation can be considered "new" in the sense that they didn’t exist before. The brain's potential is vast, and we may not be using all of it at any given time. Learning could be seen as the process of activating and refining this potential, bringing latent capacities into active use. This perspective also emphasizes that learning isn't just about acquiring new information, but about unlocking and expanding the capabilities we already have.

The idea that everything we need is already within us, just waiting to be uncovered, is both empowering and magical. It shifts the focus from a daunting challenge to a process of discovery. Instead of seeing learning as something foreign or beyond our reach, this perspective frames it as a natural unfolding of our inherent potential.
