An Inherent Love of Learning
A large proportion of clients will come to a counseling situation with blocking patterns already installed on the processes of reading, writing, and speaking to audiences. On handling these, it is well to remember that the job of the counselor is not to “teach” the client to do these things but to help the client discharge the blocks that interfere with his or her learning to do them. . . .
. . . A motivation that exists in every person toward learning, and which has almost systematically been turned off and blocked in most school procedures, is an inherent joy of learning or love of learning. The human mind inherently loves to learn new things. All that is inherently required for this attitude to operate, for the joy of learning to turn on fully, is some new information to be learned and some existing information already known to which it can be related.
