When I was doing my B.ed I was thinking a learner is one who learn from his or her own experiences. I read many books related to the theory of different psychologist like Skinner, Thorndike (The Behaviourist) and the theory of Gestalt philosophers who have difference of opinions related to the theory of learning. The behaviourist said that learning is a process of stimulus and response. It favoured that all learning is actually based on S-R theory . But slowly and slowly when I tried to read some more psychologists then I came to the depth of the actual learning and then I came to realize that it is not just a process rather it is a process as well as product. And the learning which the Behaviourist are talking about is just training which is just a small part of learning.
During my B.ed I got a book from my college library "Think on these things". It was written by a great philosopher of East J. Krishanamurti. In it he said an intelligent person is one who live dangerously and a true learner is one who take initiative and do the simple things differently. One of the line of J. Krishnamurti very much inspired me i.e.

"The aim of education is not to make students able to give answer of the questions rather the aim of education is to make them able to ask questions from the answers".
It is what our great saints of East also said that from the questions you can get the true answer. There is not fixed answer of any question rather there are many answers of one question. And a true learner is one who has a courage to ask questions from his own self and starts his journey from his questions which took him toward a one answer of every kind question of the life.
