A learning opportunity around every corner
My mind is like an open book filled with
empty pages. Learning appeals to me because I
believe that there is a learning opportunity around every corner. And with
every learning opportunity comes a new chapter filled with new knowledge.
Regardless of your age, ethnicity or culture the opportunity to learn something
new everyday is always available as long as we are open to new experiences or
willing to revisit an old one with a new perspective.
Think of all the knowledge you gain every
day while doing things that are part of your daily routine. I believe an
adventure could surprise me at every turn. For example, a trip to the frozen
yogurt store could potentially turn into a life long memory when I go with a
group of friends or family. During each visit we are all exposed to new and
different things. As soon as we enter I feel like all of my senses immediately
go to work. There are lively, warm, cheerful colors everywhere. The smells are
a combination of unique and exotic fruits, candies, and other toppings along
with the variety of yogurts. You can taste the different textures uniting in
your mouth to make one distinct taste. Have you ever heard of Taro flavored
yogurt? How about the popping boba fruit or mochi? While you make your
selections you can read the signs that provide information about these toppings
and explain their health benefits. A
simple trip to buy frozen yogurt helps to give you the opportunity to learn
about various toppings and enjoy your treat knowing that it is beneficial for
your health. A trip to the yogurt store
around the corner becomes a learning opportunity if you enter the store
believing that you can always learn something new. As Vernon
Howard, an American spiritualist, once said “Always walk through life as if you
have something new to learn and you will.”
Learning appeals to me because it
makes life exciting and more interesting. I’ve always seemed to enjoy learning
new things but perhaps more importantly, I truly enjoy sharing that knowledge
with others. Talking to people about my experiences and encouraging them to
share theirs with me helps me learn about other cultures and ethnicities,
customs and traditions. Your willingness
to see everything as a learning opportunity will help you grow and mature. An
open mind can prepare you to enjoy life and face new challenges with a positive
attitude.
