Today As A Lesson
As the days go by and as a new day emerges, so are new things to be learnt. In fact, everyday that comes will definitely deliver something new to be learnt. This is why I believe that nothing teaches a better lesson than the experiences gotten in each day. As long as you learnt something new each day, then your day was worthwhile and well spent. It does not matter what happens or what you see along the road to your success, what matters is the lesson you can can draw from what has happened. Remember that you cannot stop certain occurrences, rather you can choose to look at the positive side of them and get lessons from them.
One of the proofs that validate our existence as humans in this extant form is our ability to learn new things. This is why it has been said that "as long as you keep learning, then you are still very much living." The more you learn about a particular thing, the more you will realise that in other things also, there are many more things to be learnt. In fact, the more the knowledge you acquire, the more you understand how very little you have been knowledgeable. Of course, it takes a conscious efforts of learning to come to terms with your ignorance. Life will always give you opportunities to learn something new, but it is your responsibility to welcome the opportunities.
When it comes to learning, you have to understand that it should not be limited to a particular field but it should be far and wide. As a matter of fact, if what you know and learn are only from your own field, then your relevance in this evolving world is limited. The world keeps changing and new knowledge keeps emerging in an increasing manner. A lot of people are now working in places outside from what they have studied in the university but the knowledge they have is what distinguished them.
If you want to remain relevant and uphold your worth in this very competitive world, then the pathway to it is continuous learning. There are things that may happen at the present moment that may not look too welcoming to you, but if you look deeply into it, you will realise that there are things that can be gained from it. Even from making mistakes, you can still take home some valuable lessons that can make you a master in the same field you had initially erred in. Each day you wake up, among your expectations for the day, you have to also look forward to learning new things and then become better than you were. The idea that you should have in mind is to be better than your former self.
If the same amount of knowledge you had last year is the same knowledge-base you still possess today without any addition, then you are already limiting yourself. The speed at which the world evolves, if you do not match up with relevant knowledge, you may become less valuable. People normally go after the person they know will provide answers to their challenges. If you have the knowledge that someone is in desperate need of, even if they did not like you before that time, they will put it aside to seek for your help. If no one comes to you to help them solve a particular challenge, then you need to upgrade and update yourself starting with your knowledge.
No one can grow without learning a couple of things. In fact, one of the things that proof the presence of growth is the acquisition of more knowledge. This is why, for you to move over to the higher level in class, you must move prove that you have learnt something by writing exams. When challenges of life come, it is not to make you to fall but to prove you. The knowledge you gain today is what you will use for the day of challenges. So any opportunity you have to learn anything worthwhile, grab it and make the most out of it.
