Urgency in learning is simply prioritizing learning over other activities. How many times has it been said that there simply isn’t time for learning? It’s just a matter of what to do with one’s time.
My adult daughter provide a wonderful example of this the other day while visiting my home with her husband. She sat at my farmhouse table with her laptop open, attempting to study child psychology as homework for a college course. The assignment was tedious despite her interest psychology and her impending graduation. Soon she closed the window for the assigned work and investigated a tangent, a question she had thought of while reading. She shared what she just read, enthralled with her new discoveries.
