LIMITLESS LEARNING
Incompetency, irrationality, negativity are
things that distorts the progress of improvising on matters that are
substantial from the growth of our mind, personality and self-caused
confidence. The one thing I cannot ever stand is that some people think or they
sufficiently believe that they're old enough to know everything, and whatever
you tell them is wrong to them. I mean sure, maybe from one aspect you're
better in certain things, but from different aspects, you're no better than a person
who doesn't have a single inkling about what’s going on. I digress with the
fact that some adults think that they've been through enough to know everything
and that they needn't have to learn from younger adults about certain things.
It doesn't mean that they should stop learning or push away other suggestions
just because they think they already know everything. True wisdom comes from
learning, whether it’s something you already know, something more than what
you've already known, or an area that is completely new to you. You're never too
old to learn and we learn from mistakes, where the most probable outcome of it
will be failure.
Just because you fail at something doesn't
mean that you can't be successful. The only person that is preventing the success
is you. Yes, we might fail once or twice in certain things, but that failure
should be the motivating force to bring us back on our feet to face it with
more confidence. Sometimes the failure could be caused due to our own choice,
that of which we cannot blame anyone else for. Someone once told me, those who
are ignorant to learn or to improvise or willing to know more set a barrier for
themselves where they become stunted or stagnant to the things they only know
and they are not willing to expose themselves to different areas of knowledge
to expand their abilities or intellectual capacity. If a situation relating to
things that are not known to one who thinks that way, there could be a problem
in adapting to it, but it’s not impossible to adapt of course, just harder to
pull off. What I’m trying to say here is that we have a choice to stick with
what we already know and limit our capabilities, or to make ourselves better by
equipping ourselves with all sorts of knowledge. Learning is never easy, but in
any case, it is as simple or as complicated as it can be.
I knew a guy who was so negative about his
failures, he kept telling me about it every now and then. Even the slightest
sentence that relates to his failures would spark his fury towards it. From my
view, he was limiting himself from the growth of what he was already doing, but
he kept considering that what he was doing is a failure in his life. But i
believe that one day he'll start to realise that his failure should not be the
one stopping him from turning his failure into a success. Everyone starts with
nothing at first. What makes one person different from the other is the
willingness to go a step further and not fearing of what that step would lead
him to, be it another failure or success. I can't say for sure that whenever we
do this, it would be a guarantee failure or success, and that if you're
satisfied with whatever you have, by all means, you don't have to take another
step to make yourself more successful than you think you already are, or you
could if you want to. As a whole, there are always ways to make ourselves
better than we consider ourselves to be. There's no point in aggravating or
stating what we have not achieved, rather, we should work towards achieving it
instead of looming in the shadow of victory. Be the victory you want to obtain,
and by doing so, negativity will flee from you, you'll start to see things in a
different angle, and most importantly, you'll change for the betterment of yourself,
that of which I cannot determine.
