Desire 2 Learn

August 23, 2020

Well, If I'm not wrong most of my audience is in their learning phase of life. By the way, there is no age limit to learn. Learning is a continuous process. Let see why it is important to keep learning, especially in this age of life. You know this is the golden era to learn, Do you know why?

Because you have time, you can't pretend that you don't have time.

Because you have resources, by resources I mean you all must have a mobile phone with high-speed internet connectivity. And these days this is all that you want if you want to learn something. Nowadays everything is available on the internet, there is a lot of free content that you can read and understand.

The beautiful thing about LEARNING is that no one can take it away FROM YOU.

See, learnings are not limited up to reading books only. If observed closely there is no limit to how much you can learn. I will give you a real-life example of this.

How many of you have heard about Elon Musk?

I'm sure most of you have heard about him, he is the owner of companies like Tesla, Space X, and many more.

At the age of 10, he had read as many books as even a college graduate had never read.

At the age of 12, he developed a game on his own to which a gaming company bought for $500. And the most interesting thing which I want to tell you about him is that he and his company Space X made the first reusable rocket in the world's history.

And you wouldn't believe that Elon Musk learned all this from reading books and from the Internet. I will highly recommend everyone to watch this video if you want to know more about Elon Musk.

Now you must have understood how much we can learn from ourselves.

"Once you stop learning, you start dying" - Albert Einstein

So, now the question is that if we can learn so much from ourselves then why we are not learning?

The answer is Distraction or you can also say Lack Of Focus. Now there is no need to tell how and why we distracted, everyone knows. What we should talk about is how to get rid of distractions and how to bring our focus on learning.

The solution is very simple, just decide a goal in your life. A goal that keeps you motivated to not waste your time, A goal that keeps you focused. In this way, you can go in the right direction. If you don't have any direction to go it is normal to get distracted.

If you have a clear goal in your life, if you have the right direction to achieve that goal then you will never be distracted because you know what you should do and what you are doing.

If you don't have any goal till now, it's ok. Just focus on learning because until you don't have a direction to go, you can go in all directions, just Discover Yourself. Try to learn new things as much as you can and believe me if you learn something or acquire some skills today which is not even related to your goal it doesn't mean that is going to be waste NO, that may help you at some point of time in your life.

Ok, Have you seen that Stanford commencement speech of Steve Jobs in which he talked about 'connecting the dots'. If not you must watch this video.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future" - Steve Jobs

Dots are nothing but all those small experiences of life that together makes a bigger change in life,

See, big change happens with our small efforts. And if you want to make a big change in your life then you must develop a habit of learning. So, friends try to learn new skills daily to boost your career ahead.
