The author Greg Twemlow argues that the continuous learning process can be analogized to the musical concept of the Circle of Fifths. He explores the similarities between the harmonic progression of music and the structured development of skills, claiming that both involve a cyclical process of exploration, refinement, and mastery. Through the use of this analogy, Twemlow suggests that individuals can discover their "why" or their core purpose by recognizing their unique strengths, interests, and values through learning and developing their skills. He also highlights the importance of continuous reflection in this process, which ultimately leads to greater self-understanding and personal growth. Read the article on Medium.
