There is learning in making tea?

Recently my husband gave me a wonderful lesson in learning. It was Saturday morning and he chose to make tea for both of us. He doesn’t normally do that and when I walked into the kitchen I saw him take his time to fill up the kettle with water and then look in the cupboards for the tea and tea pot. The time it took him to make the tea was longer than if I had done it myself. The whole experience reminded me about the learning process we all go through when we learn something new, doesn’t matter what it is. At first we go slowly through all the steps to make sure we find everything we need and that we are doing it right. Once we know how it goes, we can move through it more quickly. Something as simple as making tea by yourself in someone’s home for the first time, you may look in a number of cupboards before you find the cupboards that hold the tea, the tea pot and the kettle. You will eventually find everything and get the tea made. If you were to make tea in that home more than once and twice, it would take you no time at all because eventually you would know where everything is. Can you learn everything you need to learn in one try or in one sitting? Maybe you can. Most of the time it will take more than one try to get the learning you need from the experience. You see you have no idea if the owner of that home decides its time to change the cupboards around. Where will the tea, teapot and kettle be next time?
