ARE YOU LEARNING TO DRIVE… OR JUST FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS?
Here’s something worth thinking about if you’re currently having driving lessons.
Imagine you’re approaching a busy roundabout.
Your instructor tells you when to slow down, which gear to select, what to look for and when it’s safe to go.
You get through it perfectly. Brilliant! 👍
But here’s the question…
Could you have done all of that if your instructor hadn’t said a word?
There’s a big difference between doing something correctly and understanding how to do it yourself.
Of course, we all need help and guidance when learning something new. That’s perfectly normal.
But as your confidence and ability grow, so should your responsibility for making decisions.
After all, when you pass your driving test, there won’t be anyone sitting beside you telling you what to do.
So here’s something to think about after your next lesson…
How many decisions did YOU make today?
And how many were made for you?
Because learning to drive isn’t just about controlling a car. It’s about learning to THINK for yourself.
