The prime modes of learning are interpretation, stories, and current waves.

Leaning is an antidote to the ambiguity in the conduct of life.

Interpretation

Initially, it was a puzzle for me while going through the interpretation of some issues or concepts in a fixed pattern. I was not satisfied with one sort of explanation for any matter. 
Then I started referencing different sources. I found that one message was given different meanings by different translators and explainers, and now it was easy to reach the core of the issue. 
I started to go through the views of many authorities on any topic specifically relating to living a life consciously or dealing with messy personal conditions. 
In this process of wide references, I got a hazy interpretation of things into some distinct shape. 
"If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometimes our assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore our interpretation of events is incorrect. This causes us to overact, to take things personally, and to judge people unfairly." Elizabeth Thornton 
Interpretation matters the most; it may be a paragraph in a book, the speech of someone, or looking into episodes. 
Views of people of different mindsets have helped me a lot about what may be closest to reality. 
In any language, there is scope for the interpretation of a word or sentence in a variety of ways, contributing to confusion or complications. You can’t deny it. 
The simple remedy is to refer to many interpreters of the same concept, as I have experienced myself. Know that in this mental exercise, clarity emerges and vagueness mostly disappears. 
Interpretation is the act of defining or reframing something to get clarity. 
"Everyone in the complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretation we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole." Margaret J. Wheatley
If you approach anything with an open mind, things will stand out like fresh water. 
In many instances, it is prejudice that keeps someone in contradiction. 
Interpretation applies to what is written or said.

Stories

Our perceptions and insights are made of stories. We listen to stories at home and outside almost daily to amplify our understanding. 
We also share stories with others on various occasions to strengthen our views. 
"The stories we tell literally make the world. If you want to change the world, you need to change your story. This truth applies both to individuals and institutions." Michael Margolis
Stories help to raise awareness and achieve what appears impossible today.
You have time to create good stories. 
 
 
 
 
 
Current waves

All media, print or screen, tell stories of events, problems, policies, and probabilities. We get a variety of information, and we interpret it according to what suits us. 
"He who asks questions does not err easily." Mexican proverb. 
Opinions and reporting are to be treated as information on which final views are to be built. 
We jump to conclusions without sufficient reasoning, though many variables are not exposed. . This gives birth to many problems because of hurry-ups or uncontrolled emotions. 
While getting our eyesight checked, we are asked to read letters of increasing size to determine the power of glass. Likewise, we must listen to people and read materials from diverse groups to get the right picture and clear ambiguity. 
Be in touch with current affairs today. There are going to be stories for days ahead. Construct the right stories.

Wrap up

Remember that you are interpreting any message or report in the light of your values and beliefs. 
Further, know that your imaginations, interpretations, values, and rules are to be standardized from time to time. 
There are common threads in all the complexities of life that remain unnoticed when we play the game of right or wrong. 
Enjoy learning when people around you are tired of getting upgraded.
