"In Eastern cultures … it’s just assumed that struggle is a predictable part of the learning process. Everyone is expected to struggle in the process of learning, and so struggling becomes a chance to show that you, the student, have what it takes emotionally to resolve the problem by persisting through that struggle."
Fascinating read on different attitudes towards learning in Eastern and Western cultures. It appears that comfort with uncertainty is essential to Eastern mentality, whereas the fear of failure continues to paralyze Western thought. (via twistednuns)
