Many people think the degree which they hold defines their knowledge which is enough to perform any special action. Fact is any person without the degree from the leading business school can perform well compared to the person with the degree from a leading business school, provided they have the skill of continuous learning from books or from other source. A quality book worth Rs.300 can add value more than engineering and management degrees.
There are many roads in front of us but we choose the road we need to travel. Life is all about which road we choose. It is not merely by accident, may be now or earlier in life we would have opt to choose this road which we are travelling now. The chosen road may be a highway or an muddy off road. Few travel might need a specially equipped vehicle to travel. It is better we build the vehicle appropriately before starting the journey to be a pleasant one.
Few days ago, I was travelling from my hometown to a town called Srimushnam which is 200 kms away. I need to travel during the early morning before the sun is up. There are not more light in the journey but i have headlamps in my car which can give me enough light which covers 100 meter from the car. This light can cover only 100 meters at any single point of time but during the course of the journey, it can cover the entire 200 kilometers. When we start to travel with the limited and consistent resource, it gave more brightness to the journey. similarly, it is not necessary to know the entire finance system how it will work. Instead it is necessary that the resource we carry should be consistent. To make this resource consistent, the only option is continuous learning.
The journey chosen can be as wild or as bad but when we are prepared to learn continuously, all those tough times will lead to unexpected results. I don't think any famous personality would have all the information or knowledge when they started their career. But definitely, they would have thought about getting this famous or even more than this. The secret which make them to come this far is the way they thought and present themselves within and learning continuously to improve everyday.
Michelangelo, who was an Italian sculpture, painter, architect and a great poet wrote "I am still learning" at his age of 87. He wrote these words by around 16th century.
Thottanaith Thoorum Manarkeni MaandharkkukKatranaith Thoorum Arivu
This was the 396th kural from the famous Thirukkural which was estimated to be written 2300 years ago. This kural means, the water will flow from a well in proportion to the depth to which it is dug, and knowledge will flow from a man in proportion to his learning. I would like to add further more to this, as long as the man is continuously learning and giving away his knowledge to as many as he can, he will get much more knowledge than what he learns.
It is really not a tough job to ready 30 pages a day. When a person builds a habit of reading few pages a day, he / she not only brings better changes to his / her life alone but also the people around him / her. When i started considering stock market and other investments options as a serious concern, i do not have much knowledge about financial markets. I made many mistakes and learned many concepts on the go. When understood the importance of continuous learning, started following a simple step of reading few pages per day, it changed my life.
When a person understand the importance of continuous learning and start to learn continuously. He will not only be better at the work he is doing but will become wiser. Reading books and gaining knowledge continuously will keep a person busy. This will keep away from unnecessary elements and will avoid 99% of the problem humans face these days. I hope the reader of this blog will enjoy all wealth and health in continuous learning and live life to the fullest. I choose to be a continuous learner and share my knowledge to gain more.
Have a Great Day
