The 4 Stages of Learning

To gain comprehensive knowledge, we must climb the ladder of learning, which involves four critical stages.

 
The man in this video is former New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Jim Mora. With his temper, tendency for brutal honesty and impatience with foolish questions, he was always one of the better quotes in the NFL.

In this clip from the 1989 season in New Orleans, Mora took aim at a sportswriter for pretending to know something.

“You guys really don’t know when it’s good or bad, when it comes right down to it,” he said.

“And I’m promising you right now, you don’t know whether it’s good or bad. You really don’t know, because you don’t know what we’re trying to do. You guys don’t look at the films, you don’t know what happened, you really don’t know. You think you know, but you DON’T KNOW, and you never WILL, okay?”

Mora’s message might seem insensitive, but he touches on a critical point and forces us to ask some key questions: When do we know? When do we know we have gained sustainable knowledge of a subject?
