Motivation And Learning

With globalisation, education has taken on a value that just cannot be measured and calibrated. Education, which after all, is only a synonym for learning has become one of the basic necessities of life and food, shelter and clothing. However good a teacher may be, unless the learning process is understood clearly and unless there is a motivation on the part of the student to absorb and retain what is being taught, all efforts to impart learning and wisdom will be futile.
