		<description>mage, i will never underestimate your ability to comment again :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;or actually your ability to flame bait *grin*&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and from your link the second definition is more to my liking&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;a being who has not yet reached enlightenment&quot;......and so is hungry for more knowledge&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and its interesting how you say that understanding is not a linear process but more a collaborative one in the sense that you get some knowledge form an opinion and then some other knowledge may potentially modify that opinion. i agree with that and what i find noteworthy is your statement about forming an opinion and moving forward with the knowledge that something else that you learn as you move along has the potential to change this opinion and that is what is necessary, a willingness for change an acceptance of the fear of making a mistake but still the grit to go ahead and do something :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and you sum it up very nicely when you say that this is the ability to &quot;learn as you go&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The realisation that by the time i formed an opinion it may be too rigid is what prompted me to start blogging :)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and i am already enjoying this blog world, who knows you might just see me on twitter soon :)</description>

<p>or actually your ability to flame bait *grin*</p>
<p>and from your link the second definition is more to my liking</p>
<p>&#8220;a being who has not yet reached enlightenment&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;and so is hungry for more knowledge</p>
<p>and its interesting how you say that understanding is not a linear process but more a collaborative one in the sense that you get some knowledge form an opinion and then some other knowledge may potentially modify that opinion. i agree with that and what i find noteworthy is your statement about forming an opinion and moving forward with the knowledge that something else that you learn as you move along has the potential to change this opinion and that is what is necessary, a willingness for change an acceptance of the fear of making a mistake but still the grit to go ahead and do something <img src='http://bhowmikshah.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>and you sum it up very nicely when you say that this is the ability to &#8220;learn as you go&#8221;</p>
<p>The realisation that by the time i formed an opinion it may be too rigid is what prompted me to start blogging <img src='http://bhowmikshah.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>and i am already enjoying this blog world, who knows you might just see me on twitter soon <img src='http://bhowmikshah.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
