Preguntas de Coaching
¿Te consideras una persona apasionada del aprendizaje?
¿Qué te interesa aprender?
¿Hay algo que te impida aprender sobre lo que te interesa?
¿Crees que la edad es un impedimento para aprender?
Comparto la siguiente información para reflexionar sobre el valor del aprendizaje a cualquier edad.
Kimani Ng'ang'a Maruge, hombre keniano, que a sus 84 años de edad decidió aprender a leer y escribir. Afrontó muchos retos para lograrlo, pues muchos padres y madres de las y los niños estudiantes, así como autoridades del sistema educativo, estuvieron en desacuerdo en que él asistiera a clases. De acuerdo a lo que se relata en la película "El escolar" (The First Grader, 2011), la maestra de Maruge lo apoyó incansablemente para que lograra su meta de aprendizaje. Tal fue la persistencia de ambos, que finalmente consiguó su propósito. Este hombre fue reconocido por el gobierno keniano por su lealtad a su país, y fue invitado a la Cumbre de la ONU para el Desarrollo del Milenio, a fin exponer ante líderes del mundo la importancia de la educación primaria gratuita; también obtuvo el Récord de Ginnes, por ser el primer hombre de mayor edad que inició sus estudios de educación básica.
El aprendizaje como valor en tu vida
Cuánto aprendamos depende en gran medida del interés que tengamos en ciertos temas, asuntos y/o actividades. Los motivos por los cuales nos interese aprender están directamente relacionados con el empeño que le pondremos. Nuestra creencia (mentalidad) de que podemos o no aprender, puede ser un impulso o freno para lograrlo.
Preguntas finales de Coaching:
¿Qué te impulsa y qué te limita para aprender lo que te interesa en la vida?
¿Qué beneficios tendrás si te empeñas en aprender lo que te interesa?
¡Que nada te limite!
Enfócate en lo que te interesa y sigue disfrutando de aprender.

When
the Kenyan government announced it would stop charging fees for primary
school education — just days before the beginning of the 2003 school
year — the result was pandemonium. Teachers, headmasters and parents
scrambled to find desks, pencils and books for over a million extra
students.
But the policy shift also provided a stepping stone into the record books for 84-year-old Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge, who, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, became the oldest person ever to enroll in Standard 1 when he appeared before astonished teachers and fellow pupils in 2004.
