I have just read the question by Panha and the answer [ by the auther] and feel like adding a few lines .
Actually the objective of creating fun in the learning activity is not fun for fun sake but because of the reason that we often tend to focus all our energies in “defending “our selves [ unknown fears] and thus remain tense and unreceptive to new ideas and new learning . The fun element makes the activity more enjoying and also helps the learner concentrate more on the learning part rather than being tense or evasive . Fun and humour is not only necessary for an effective leadership but it must also be an integral part of the whole company culture

When I’m saying the FUN WAY instead of the “easy way”. I’m trying to say that FUN means doing a double effort on your part. But in the end it will certainly prove more fruitful, and long lasting.
1. You have to be creative to find something funny about the subject you’re studying.
2. You have to look further, beyond what your teacher gives you. You have to give a meaning to what you’re learning. That will make things funnier.

The “EASY WAY” is just taking what you’re given to. Not looking further. I’m not saying it’s easy, but I’m saying most of the students (me included) sometimes we don’t look further. Granted, sometimes teachers don’t encourage their students enough to look beyond the scope their giving them, but at some point in your life, you have to take that as your responsibility. That’s one of the hallmarks of great achievers.

Regards and thanks for your comments,
Ken.

That’s reality, Ken. Really, no one is an Island; there is/are definitely something/somethings we don’t know and need to learn and we can only learn by humbling ourselves, no matter how highly placed one may be.

You are really doing a good job, Ken.

Dear Author,

I have read your article and I have one point which I did not understand well what you mean. You said that if you need to learn more, then try to do it the fun way. Not the easy way, but the fun way. My question is what different between fun way and easy way. If possible, give me some example.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Panha
