this is interesting to me as in my research I proposed learning and improving on that learning (developing mastery) is like a spiral. Habits of learning are strengthened as the learner builds on their skills - they continually build on the dispositions required for learning as they return to them. Each turn of the spiral they are moving closer to mastery. I agree that courage is needed to keep moving forward, that and determination - both as important dispositions for learning.
