From this quote that Hunter has provided us with, we can gather that Deming believes that you must learn in order to survive. To be able to keep up in an ever changing and ongoing world, we humans need to be able to adapt to certain changes and situations that surround us. By learning, not just important life lessons but also common sense, academic, and intellectual knowledge, we are better prepared to deal with certain situations and changes that arise in life.
ReplyDeleteIn order to keep up with the way of the world, one must always be learning in order to keep up. Falling behind in life gets you nowhere and makes any kind of progression purely impossible. So when we ask, is it necessary to learn, the answer will always be yes, it is necessary to learn in order to live.
