Have you learned something new lately?

Hi AnnieRose, I'm taking a course to upgrade my professional qualification. It is work-related. I learn a lot of things during the course. I'm a little apprehensive because I would need to take an exam in July to obtain the title. I have my fingers crossed. On the online front, I'm trying to learn something new. It's rather technical and I'm exactly savvy when it comes to websites and stuff. I do believe we learn something every single day. But we never notice it unless we jot them down.

I have learned so much in the past year. I have learned that thoughts are things and you need to watch what you think. I learned that I am the only one with the power to make myself happy, healthly, successful, and wealthy. I have learned that real love doesn't hurt. I have learned that my children don't belong to me, I am just here to do my best to teach them this very lesson. I have learned that you don't need to go to college to start and run a successful business, but education is very important!

Hello there, I totally agree with you that life is a continuous learning. Recently, I have learned how to install the hanger on the wall myself. In the past, I thought it was man's job, actually it is no longer the case. As long as we make an effort to prepare ourselves and figure out how to do it step by step, it is not that difficult. :-)

I am a voluntary language teacher for a Burmese family who lives in my country. I help them with their pronounciation and grammar and I also teach them new words. I am the teacher, but I also learn something from my students. Sometimes I have to double-check the grammar in my books for instanse if we talk about some expressions that I don't use much in my daily life and I learn new things that way. Danish is my mothertongue, but I am still able to learn new things about my own language. At the same time I learn things about the Burmese culture and the daily life in Burma because my students tell me about their country. It is very interesting to listen to the things that they tell me and I know a lot more about Burma now than I did in the past.

Lately I learned that racism is still alive and sick in this world. I have learned that some people never really get justice.

Hi Annie! I, myself, learn new things every day from myself and people surrounding me. Recently I've learned that I can't take things for granted. Even the little things, because in a blink of an eye they can be gone and out of your life forever. Appreciate what you have in this moment and embrace everything your life has to offer. This has gotten me through a lot of things and makes me realize really how precious life is and how precious the things you have and the ones you love are.

i was sent to a new curriculum training and it was an eye opener for me for today's school beginning. i also learned changing themes of my PC. we are really learning new things every minute, everyday. we just don't put too much emphasis on that as long as it doesn't affect us negatively. we always notice the bad things that happen to our day to day living.nice post you have here pal. keep going, ma'am.

Will you believe if I say that I am now learning how to manipulate people? And I think I am good at it... Seriously, I am just trying to be able to use my tablet well...

Hi annie, Just last week, I received a memo that I was to be sent to an open water diving course for four days. This is in relation to my work as a coastal resource management officer and a fishery law enforcer. So I left my sidearm, desktop, laptop, and all paperwork in the office and went down to the university for the first day of theory on air and water under pressure, buoyancy and some videos on scuba diving. The next day was a confined water diving course on a swimming pool, doing endurance swimming tests and use of SCUBA gear, diving mask and fins underwater. The last two days were spent on an open sea dive to 40 feet then down to 60 feet. I logged a total of three hours and forty minutes underwater for those training dives. Just last May 15 was our final written exam where I got 43 out of 50 test items. I still can't believe it, after many years of spending my sea life on a boat without ever getting down to the water, I am now a PADI-certified open sea diver. I can't wait for my next diving schedule to see my underwater fish-friends again.

I learned (again) that in the end you can trust nobody. That people find it hard to be straight and communicate and you can only be succesful if you believe in yourself and fight for your own rights (and amazing or not you get it). No matter if it's about the school of my kids, the bad economic, the bad doctor/dentist or suppliers.. if you dont fight you won't get your right.

Hi annierose. Just this afternoon, I've learned from one of our speakers that our brain has two main parts the left brain that deals with logic, analysis, linear thinking, speech and activity and the right brain which deals with emotions, creativity, imagination, music and passivity. He told us that most of the time, we are using our left brain. However I forgot to copy the source of his information.

Hmm..I tried painting with acrylic and on canvass for the very first time of my life. The mentioned materials have been long sitting idle in the corner in my room, almost a year. I've always been chickening out when I would plan on start painting on it, I didn't have had any formal classes about it. I've only seen paintings and I was never taught by anyone, I'm pretty much a self-taught artist. And for the very first time, just today, I've mustered enough courage to hold my paint brush and stroke the canvass with paints. I've always been afraid that I would make mistakes and messed it up, that I would waste my pigments and materials. But just after the first few strokes, I said to myself that I can do this! And I got the hang of it and I'm hoping I'll do good in my very first masterpiece on canvass. The experience of discovering new things made me see myself in a different light. I guess I'll never get tired of learning and trying new things because it helps me build my individuality. Although it always takes courage to try new stuffs, I think doing things even if you're not brave enough to face it feels really good, once you've overcome whatever trial it is. I know being afraid wouldn't really do me good, and doubting my ability as well, but I've learned today that they are indeed spices of life so I would never resent myself for fearing and delaying some things because the right time will come and when it did, there will be a burst of energy and discovery that's really worth it.

one cannot correctly specify what he learned recently if it is not related to some physical object life is a process of learning and it continues till he lasts in this world . Daily we are learning lot of things based on our practical life it cannot be specified in a proper manner but it will help in our learning process of understanding ones life . so every body is learning some thing in his daily life. It will be useful in his life one day or another day .
