It is
always amazing to learn something and do what we learnt and again learn from
what we did and do what we learnt from past experience. Life without learning
is like an amusement park without a Roller Coaster. Learning will complete the
purpose of our life. Every living beings use to learn different things by
different ways. One’s learning strategy may not help other. Let me share some
of my thoughts and experiences on how I learnt few skills in my life.
Here I am not intended
to let the readers understand the fact that “Determination and Desire can help
us achieve any thing.” Instead I want to convey some information by which they
can hold their determination strongly and live their life with desire. Learning
doesn’t get accomplished only by gaining knowledge. It gets fulfilled only if
we apply what we learnt.
No matter what Barriers stand in your way, Never lose
sight of your goal.

I
want to pin out an Interesting story taken
from Mahabaratham,
One of the Great epics of Ancient India.
Once there were Five Brothers. Five Great
Legends who ruled all over India those days. During their Teenage days they
have been trained for Archery Skill which would be useful during the war.
Arjunan was one of the five brothers and he is well known for Archery skill in
his later days. Dhronachariya was the teacher for Archery Classes and he too
was an Archery expert.
One day During the training Dhronachariya asked one of his
students to aim an eye of a bird which were sitting at the branch of a
tree. That student took his bow and
arrow and aimed at one of the eyes of that Bird. Now Dhrona asked
What you see?
Student replied “I see a tree, a branch in that tree, leaves
in that Branch, a bird sitting in that Branch
and its eyes.”
Dhrona
smiled and asked Arjunan to aim an eye of that bird.
Now Dhrona
asked Arjunan
What you
see?
Arjunan replied “I see an eye of a Bird.”
Dhrona tapped
Arjunan’s back and praised him for his attitude.
May be Arjunan’s desire towards his learning process had lead
a path for him, becoming a Great archer.
When I was around 15 years old, I got
drastic interest towards Shaping up my body and wanted to achieve masculine
structure. Once I started running towards my desire to achieve well built body,
first problem I faced was my studies. Besides I have had to accept the pain.
Working out is not an easy task though at the age of 15. Some other problems
also I faced which made me feel like “Why the hell I need to do this?”, “What I
am going to get by running behind this desire crazily?”. But What drives me to continue running towards my
desire and what make me feel determined is the pride which I would feel after I
accomplish the goal. That is the only
reason that pushed me to achieve things.
As the
quote says, when someone is determined about something, only way to keep up
their determination is to cut all the craps that stands in their way and focus
on the goal. The Goal which they want to accomplish. The Goal which they were
determined about. The Goal which brings real Happiness in themselves.
Don’t wait
for your Ship to come in,Swim out to it.
-Cathy
Hopkins.
Two Boat Men
Before we get started let me tell you short story. Precisely,
shorter than short.
There were 2 Boat men getting
ready to go into the sea for Fishing. They both had known that Cyclone would be
coming soon. Despite they went on and got stuck at the middle of the sea and
the GPS which they brought to communicate doesn’t have signal and so they were
not able to contact the coast guards...They both realised that sooner or later,
Due to the effect of the cyclone their boat is going to get upside down...
Now they have only 2 choices… Either Jump into the sea and swim
unless they find a Shore(Though both the Boatmen knows that the waves will
further take them deep into the sea)… or
wait for any other ship to come for
Help. Second choice may not guaranty
their lives because the boat was small and they were prone to death . One Boat
man decided to stay in the boat unless he gets any help while other decided to jump into the sea , swim and find the Shore. There may be 2 results based
on the decisions. Either Boat man who
decided to swim and save himself will become safer soon than the one who decided to stay… Or Both will die…
If people have an attitude
like “I got talent, I am waiting for an Opportunity to prove myself” or “I
don’t know whether I have talent or not, I need an Opportunity to Understand
myself”, then I would say they are Hitting on the iron, which is of no use. There
is nothing like Opportunities that will knock your door and say “Come on, use
me”. They are meant to be created by our self. If we miss this opportunity, we
can avail another opportunity, another one, again one. Opportunities are
available unless we stop trying to find it.
A simple dating technique will apply
for the life. If we wait for our crush to come to us and ask for a date, then
He/ She may get busy with any other. May be Funny , but it’s the fact.
Always
Desire to learn something useful
-Sophecles
I divide people’s life into 2
general category. One is who live their life learning something new every day
and enjoying it. Another one is enjoying the life without learning anything
new.
Life Without learning anything new is
like a digging a coal mine continuously in a place where there is no need of
electricity or any other uses of coal… Life would be incomplete and
unreasonable than…
Learn something and enjoy from what we
have learnt or enjoy the life and let us learn something from what we have
enjoyed…
A Creative
man is motivated by Desire to Achieve.
-Ayn
Rand
When I say Creative man, I
didn’t mean person who have lots of creativity in mind. It is for people who
have got the desire to achieve something in life. They don’t need to be Creators.
Today’s desires will be tomorrow’s creations. Primary need to achieve great
heights or develop any skills is to have a strong desire and sticking tight to
the desire at any cost. A Creative mind can only be motivated by Desire to
achieve things in life, not by the desire to win others.
In 2012 when I started writing, I
was nothing. I was not even able to write a single paragraph that is worth reading. I got no talents.
Don’t know anything about writing. Only thing I had is desire to achieve. I am
not trying to point that I am creative. But the desire that I got that day had
helped me improve my skills. Helped me to learn many things about writing. Droved me to read many books and Refine
myself. When I wrote my 1st Poem it was awful. I myself could not
read it. When I started my first short story , I got dumb stuck at 1st
line. I didn’t know how to start? , Where to start?, What to write? Etc. Desire
is the only thing that has been with me for these days and it was the reason I
started enrolling in Online Courses and it is the reason for development of my so called “Writing Skill” by which I am
able to write an essay today.
As writers we have many things to grab from outside and accomplish our
desires. As a person we have many things to learn which can help us accomplish
our goals towards our life. Only thing which differs is the way of Learning. We
all are writers already, by some reason. Only thing which signifies one writer from
other is the way of learning. Every one of us has unique stories… Either do
something that worth writing or write something that worth reading…

existing ones.”
