Learn From Everyone, Follow No One
by Beepul Mishra
No
matter how experienced and how intelligent you are there is always a scope and
need of learning. Not only from books or by reading any articles but by observing
someone or something you can learn many qualities. Now I’ll discuss by giving
some real life examples.
From a
child you can learn to be carefree and enjoy your life.
If in general we will talk about army and
terrorists, they both are rivals but when it comes to learning there are some
common qualities which you can learn, i.e., fearlessness and their
determination for their work, their lives are always in danger but then also
they show a remarkable determination for their job. You can learn a lot from
the stories of failure, a close observation can help you understand what was
the reason of that person’s failure. Many people think that reading and
listening success stories are more effective as compared to the stories of
failure, but there is always a scope of learning something new when you are
reading /listening /observing a story of failure.
When
you learn something by observing or by talking to someone or through any other
means, you don’t use that information as it is but you have to think in what
way you can use the quality. Suppose if you want to learn determination for
your work then you have to think how and where to use these qualities, like
someone who wants to be a singer will show the determination for singing,
someone who wants to be a researcher will show determination for his/her
research.
Why I
said not to follow anyone?
When you follow someone then you start accepting
all his/her quality without any question and this is the major difference
between learning and following.
Now
suppose if you are blindly following terrorists and their principles then after
a time you will be one of them i.e. a terrorist. Considering this example you
can observe that not all qualities of anyone are worth learning. So it’s very
important to question, ‘ whether this is the quality worth learning or not'. This is possible only when
you have a learning behaviour. When you will follow anyone then there is no
scope for any question, which will bound your learning process.
At
last it can be concluded that when you follow someone your individuality is
vanished, following chokes learning. In learning your individuality is
enhanced.
