The process of learning any activity or concept can be difficult when we do not understand what must be done in order for us to be able to learn something, in fact. This difficulty often causes frustrations and abandonments of simple activities that could be completed if individuals had a correct direction on how to learn.

We are encouraged to learn through experiences and for this reason, we are always looking for opportunities that put us in situations that teach us something and that shape us, allowing us to achieve the perfect and educating experience. Although experience is essential for learning, it alone is irrelevant. Experience needs reflection to promote complete learning and this is the key point that we need to understand.

This means that in order to produce knowledge and learn about what we are living, we need to reflect on what we are doing, what is the meaning of this and what is the impact on our lives and everything around us.

In summary, we can conclude that reflection generates thought and thought generates understanding that leads individuals to complete and efficient learning.
