From potentiality to actuality - University News - 59(49), Dec, 6-12, 2021: p.23-25

Learning can be best understood in terms of processes. What one does in life shapes his/her future. It is the present – the act of doing – that churns out a future. Every process needs to be accompanied with an ability to foresee or visualize one’s path and, not to forget, it also requires the fulfillment of materials needed to complete the journey. This ability to carve out a vision can be best conceptualized as potential. To keep it simple, one can say that potential is very much like a seed, which always demands suitable actions and conditions to germinate and thrive. It does not take much to understand that seeds can be transformed into life only when it meets optimal conditions. – Reproduced
