Solitary Soul

Life as an ongoing journey of learning Mario D'Couto      If there is anyone who at any point of time thought to himself or herself that there is nothing more to learn then I think that he or she has missed or rather not become aware of one of the major and crucial aspects of human life and that is the gift of learning. Yes, to learn is indeed a gift. Not many people in the world have the opportunity to experience it. Yet, learning is not something that is restricted to only books. It can happen at any moment and every moment. All we need is an open mind.     There is a nice saying I came across some years back, which goes thus, "A person who is not able to change his or her opinions or is not able to learn new things is like a septic tank where water stagnates and mosquitoes breed. An open mind is like a dam where there is always fresh water flowing." The biggest room is the room for self - improvement.     Learn from the mistakes of others....

There is no special time for success - Part 2 Mario D'Couto    There is no point in waiting for the right moment. That time may never come. It is important to start off with the things you can do.    Anyone who got to the point where they are, had to begin with where they were. The problem is we tend to focus more on what we lack than on what we have. People are always ignoring something they can do and trying to do something they can't. Learning something new may not help the perosn who isn't using what he already knows. Besides, unless if one uses what he or she already knows, there is no guarantee that he is going to put the new thing learned into practice. Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
