The old man grudgingly agrees, and begins testing him and teaching him the ways of the ancient warriors of the village. Slowly, our young hero learns how to fight and how to control his emotions.

This drive to learn is another core drive. You are able to thrive in the world based on your capacity and willingness to learn new things. And it is not only related to formal education. You learn how to drive, how to have sex, how to/(or not to) fight with your partner. You even can learn how to die.
