And the key to building potential is learning. It consists of three main characteristics: (1) learning is the result of experience and practice, caused by the process of maturity growth (2) learning is effective in terms of behavior change which has to be in a better way and (3) learning is a relatively permanent change. Learning must be a relatively permanent change in behavior and cannot negate the learning that has occurred.
