Fun, enjoyment, creativity, excellence, achievement desire to excel. All have something to do with learning. Learning can be advanced our thwarted by barriers some of which do not begin or end in the classroom.

wk 2 Benjamin Zander conference in Davos:
I love his zest for life. He is so passionate about "awakening possibilites" in other people. Its so interesting that his wife is a clinician and he's a musician and they actually collaborate so well together. In the past I would not have listened to him because I would have had so many walls up about what he is saying and where he was trying to "take or lead" me. I am glad that this level of learning came at a time when I am open to experience new and better ways of living my life. It would have been nice to get real time tweets of what people were experiencing while they were with him not to quantify but to be part of the immediate experience. There is a bit about him that seems contagious like someone sneezing on you during flu season. I'm saying that it's not escapable. lol Like someone who hugs you when you don't want one but you feel so much better after you do because what they had to give you needed but didn't even know it. Ultimately, it's people like Benjamin who change the world one "sneeze" at a time. lol

Great analogy, "One sneeze at a time!"
