Chapter 5 – Hope: The motivation of learning
By reading this paragraph I had the impression John Maxwell was using the term “hope” for “optimism”, but he later says optimism is a passive while hope is active.
It takes courage to have hope because it can be disappointing, but Maxwell is convinced it’s going to be rewarded.
Hope-filled people are energetic, they welcome life and all that it comes with it -including challenges-.
And Maxwell believes it’s no coincidence depressed individuals often lack energy. Lack of hope and lack of energy usually go hand in hand.

Hope is your greatest asset against hardships: it looks for lessons rather than leaving us deflated. It sees what can be done rather than what can’t be done.
Doing the following three things will help you become hopeful:
1. Realize That Hope Is a Choice. And then choose hope
2. Change Your Thinking. We get what we expect in life. Have positive expectations
3. Win Some Small Victories. Success, even in the form of small wins, will encourage hope. And smaller victories show you that bigger ones are within grasp
Chapter 6 – Teachability: the pathway or learning
If you want to be successful tomorrow, then you must be teachable today.
Teachability is a choice and these are the traits of a Teachable Person:
1. Attitude Conducive to Learning People with a teachable spirit approach each day as an opportunity for learning. They know that success is less about natural talent and more about learning.
2. Teachable People Possess a Beginner’s Mind-set. It can be difficult, so you have to remind yourself.
3. Teachable People Take Long, Hard Looks in the Mirror. Always ask yourself “am I the cause?” If the answer is yes, then it’s time to make changes.
4. Teachable People Encourage Others to Speak into Their Lives. Surround yourself with people who know you well and will tell you the truth. This is even more important as you become more successful.
5. Teachable People Learn Something New Every Day. Any day will make you a little larger or a little smaller. Strung many days together and you will be a lot larger or a lot smaller
Daily Practices to Become More Teachable :
1. Preparation. Every day ask yourself in advance what you’re going to learn. You will be amazed by how often you can improve from people and experience in your daily life.
2. Contemplation. Observe and reflect on your experiences. Stopping and thinking allows us to gain perspective on both the successes and failures so that we can find the lessons within them. Only evaluated experiences teach us.
3. Application. The true value of teachability comes when we take something that we learn and apply it.
Recognizing your contribution in your failings, seeking solutions no matter how painful and working hard to change for the best is teachability in action.
Chapter 7 + Adversity: The Catalyst for Learning
Difficulties can be a boost if you face it with the right mind-set.
Adversity Brings Profit as Well as Pain If We Expect It and Plan for It Since adversity is going to be there anyway, we might as well plan for it. Gold medalist winners always expect pain.
Adversity Writes Our Story Adversity is unavoidable, and it’s your chance to be a hero: if you response we, it will be an heroic poem. Will adversity be your tombstone or stepping stone?
I think the summary of this story is good. here we can find out about learning motivation so that we can improve our learning methods.
