To me the term learning has two vivid meanings. Firstly, it is the process or ability to advance the amout of information that we have academically. This is what people mean when they say that someone is learned. They define the term in this case by the level of academic achievement of an individual. This meaning to do with information gained through reading and studies either individually or in class.
The second meaning has to do with one's experience in life. It refers to the maturity and experience that comes with life. It is this kind of experience at one time in life that can enable a person to react differently to a similar situation in the future. It is the ability to add onto our experience in life situations and also be able to challenge ourselves to mature even more in our conception of different situations, be it academically or not. It is this meaning that make old people wiser compared to younger people or as they say, "young and stupid".
