Learning : (252) " I play trumpet. And I took all the music courses in college, so I can also play the string instruments, keyboard, the brass and woodwinds – but only well enough to teach them. If you put a violin in front of me, you wouldn’t say, ‘My God, that guy can play.’ It’d probably sound more like Jack Benny. " - Jon Tester " I keep learning from my mistakes and take advice from my seniors Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq because I want to be better and better in Test cricket. " - Babar Azam " I do research for every single book, regardless. For ‘Double Dutch,’ I learned to jump and learned the scoring system. For ‘November Blues,’ I interviewed pregnant teens. I like to get up close and personal with the kids involved in the situations I write about. " - Sharon Draper " Comedy is very hard, but you have to learn the art and science of it. " - Marlon Wayans " In the same way I wanted to learn how to play poker, I’ve always kind of been into the blues. It just seems like a cool thing, but I didn’t know much about it. So I thought, ‘Hey, let’s really learn about the blues.’ " - Ryan Fleck " All I am doing every day is soaking in everything – I’m like a sponge, from all these award-winning directors, writers, and actors – as much as I can. " - Cailee Spaeny " I am a serial class taker. I take classes for anything and everything! " - Rasika Dugal " I’m someone who likes to listen, who likes to watch, and who likes to learn. " - Sadio Mane " Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture. " - Natalie Portman " The more I compose, the more I know that I don’t know it all. I think it’s a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you’ve already done. I try to make sure that I don’t repeat my music. " - A. R. Rahman
