Educational Learning for People Skills

Educational learning is not only applied in academics and in professional life; it is also applied in practical and daily living. When talking about practical application of learning from educational materials and environment, we talk about daily personal and social life.

In daily living, educational learning serves as a basis for personal beliefs and convictions. It also helps in guiding you in dealing with different situations and different people. For example, you can be a very nice person to your housemates or neighbours if you have the lovable characteristics of being emotionally stable and emotionally intelligent. You can learn about and develop these traits by reading different materials like published books and internet articles. Doing so is one form of educational or academic learning.

To further illustrate this educational learning, we can consider a person who wanted to be a salesman. Towards this goal, he read lots of books about marketing and sales. One particular book taught that to be able to get the sales you have to get the heart of your prospective buyer. One best way to do this is by being interested in your buyer's big and small stories and accomplishments. Along the way, the aspiring salesman was not able to become one but was able to learn how to get the sympathy of other people which is by being interested in their stories and accomplishments. He was able to apply this in his daily life and became one of the most admired persons in his neighbourhood and wherever he goes.
