"I used all the money of the training course to buy books", Craig smiled and told me his "teacher" - a stack of books about leadership and management on his book shelf.
"My companies sent me to 2 training courses related to Scrum, one went well and the other didn't...I ended up getting refunded for the course that didn't go well...and as the promise when getting refunded, I would go and master the topic.
I went on to buy four hundreds of pounds worth of books (around more than 100 Million VND)...I would choose the best practices and then went on applying them...I then reflected and then read more and then applied...Overtime, I mastered Scrum and started teaching others..."
Craig shared with me an experience made him appreciate the power of self-learning.
We can learn from real teachers or we can learn from life lessons of teachers through books or their work. And one step to get us to that self-learning mastery is our choice, our proactivity together with a purpose of the learning.
