ny,
I think you are on the right track but...
Learning implies that a person becomes proficient at a particular task or concept. Inspiration implies that the same person wants to learn more tasks more concepts, and think beyond the original learning. I am all about learning (see my signature) and Inspiration keeps the learning going.
