Y for Learn

With a lot of to dos’ and a lot to do, Life comes with a warning “Learning involved!”
Enthusiasm per se is your yearn to learn. I realized this when after 5 years of being in a pool of opportunities and rejecting them continuously, I finally jumped into the Pool. Float at my back, a very old swimming costume and a borrowed cap, I was all set to just keep my face above water. Baby pool was small and boring, but I was still scared to go in 15 feet. Looking at 45 year old ladies jump into the pool like that though was a good enough reason to walk down the staircase if not dive in.
Well here again, first few days were fun but my god! I learnt leg movement and then hand movement and then breathing and then breathing with hand movements. To top it all, all this has to be done together. At all my learning experiences, when I have a difficult time I always tend to go back, 20 years back as of now. There was a time when I could’nt walk, talk, understand things, read, write and I have done it all and done it all pretty fine.And thanks to all my doings, today I was in IIT swimming pool trying to learn one thing I did perfectly above ground and had never to learn before,,breathing!! {For those who care to read this and know abt swimming, breathing is the most difficult part of it all…}
I become my own inspiration then, and I become extremely proactive for the cause then. Thanks to me, I eventually learnt swimming and within the number of days I had I learnt more than just free style.

Like many other times, this was a time well spent. And ya one of the to-do done dona done!!
Life keeps moving and the thing sometimes that keep you going is that there is so much to do and so much to learn . Am into another pool of opportunities now, a pool where you can apparently earn a lot and learn a lot. This time its finance and I just hope to like it a lot and learn it better.
