Main Point: LEARN IN AS MANY SENSUAL WAYS AS POSSIBLE
‘All creative activity, as well as much of your pleasure in life depends on your sensory awareness. Even your ability to absorb and use second-hand information depends on your ability to relate it to your own first-hand observations’ (Fred Morgan in Marshall and Rowland, 1998, p. 6)
