The Joy of Learning

I have always been one of those who love to grow in life. And I believe you love it too. There is an immense pleasure and satisfaction in knowing that I am a better person today than I was yesterday. There is a feel-good factor of learning something new, something which you haven’t known or done before. I consider my day wasted if I haven’t added a brownie point of learning to it. Every brownie point earned helps me grow and makes my life beautiful. Happiness then comes automatically, as a by-product.

The important aspect of growing is with all of us and in everything we do. Redundancy, monotony and doing something repetitive are a big ‘No’. We hate jobs where the tasks are the same boring ones everyday. Though sometimes we become complacent in staying at the status-quo position; but given an option to change the work schedule or the job itself, we surely would opt for it. Nobody likes failing in an examination. One big reason for it is that we don’t want to read or do the same things again!

The aspect of learning applies to relationships too. Many relationships don’t succeed because after a certain period of time, we are unable to find anything new in the other person or learn something from him/her. Or it so happens that the two individuals are not able to do something fresh together. The relationship is simply not growing.

So, I believe that one of the mantras to stay happy and satisfied with your life is to keep on learning. There are various ways of increasing our learning curve. Learning can be from books, experience, people, from circumstances or by just being ourselves and learning with the passage of time. I will try to explore these aspects in my further writings. Let’s see what comes out of it.

By the way, I have earned a brownie point by writing on my blog. If you have enjoyed reading this blog-post or if it has given you any value-addition, you have earned a brownie point too!

Cheers!
