Unlearn what you know to learn something new…!!!
HARISH MONGA DIDO
A happy life is one spent in
learning, earning and yearning. One should learn to enjoy every moment of his
life as success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure,
loyalty and persistence. Learning is a life-long process. Everyone goes on
learning throughout his life and its non-ending process as there is no age bar
for studying and learning anything which is not in your knowledge or a new one
to you. A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination and instil a
love of learning.
There is no end to education.
It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with
education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment
you die, is a process of learning.
Change which is happening every
moment in nature and also among the creatures, it is the end result of all true
learning.
I recall the incident when I
visited OSD to VC in my retiring year when he proposed me to join Mass
Communication PG in view of my interest of writing, to further improve writing
skill or join the journalism. Really, I feel proud now of those moments when I
filled up the form and got recognition as a writer. Everyone is surprised
when I share, they feel inspired.
Frankly speaking, we should never
become so much of an expert that we stop gaining expertise. One should
view life as a continuous learning experience. Among all other learning’s, we
should learn to get in touch with the silence within you and know that
everything in life has the purpose. Learning is always the beginning of
wealth, health, spirituality and became a mentor to others.
The other day a very senior doctor,
now a day settled in Dubai, visited my place. Over discussions on a number of
topics – learning, forming policy, diplomacy, politics and ultimate it ended
with the implementation factor which is one of the most important issues, is
lacking in our system.
Despite more than one lac deaths on
roads in India every year, we are not serious about giving the proper training
to the drivers before issuing a driving licence. No classes or written
tests or a briefing about the pros and cons of poor driving on the highways.
For instance, he shared that
traffic rules and driving are tougher in any other country in the
world as compared to India. I know there was a time when getting a driving
licence in India was so easy, say, by handing over the date of birth
certificate, address proof and three photographs and you get the regular
driving licences are forty days.
But Richard Branson words befits
well here that you don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing
and by falling over.
Doctor’s further sharing was
surprising for me and it could be for you also when he said, to get the driving
licence there in gulf country was so difficult that one has to pass the written
as well as the practise tests after attending few classes. The first
thing on the first day told by the expert there starts with – Well gentlemen,
before we start for the process of giving you the driving licence to drive –
where driving is right-handed – you have to unlearn to learn something
new. What an idea...!
