“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
― Albert Einstein
Age doesn’t matter. No matter what happens in your life, you can always start over. The day you realize you want to make a difference in your life is the day you begin again. A start might be small, but the goal is big. Plant a seed in your life and wait until the right time when they become the crop you can harvest.
Some would say ‘real education starts after school,’ and I agree with that. All you can learn at school is probably speculations like What would be the most ideal answer to this question? Or what would be the best answer your teacher would love to hear from you?
As is often the case with any school curriculum, students are often requested to memorize information for a test or event and never use them again. But in real life’s experience, we’re required to learn a slew of information and continually utilize it and take advantage of the knowledge.
Especially considering my current position as a programmer, this idea is quite relevant. Traditional rote memorization doesn’t help us in the ever-changing tech world. Throughout the process of trial and error, you make adjustments and make it better next time, and this whole process could lead us to unprecedented discoveries. And our whole life is this way too. Real education is not about achieving a high GPA or possession of a diploma. It’s maybe about achieving an ability to think independently driven by ever-lasting curiosity.
Here, let me talk about my story. When I was a kid, I found myself disliking mathematics. But as I grew older, I’ve learned the hard way that it’s almost impossible to live in this world without basic mathematical skills. Through the process of re-educating myself in math and algebra, I opened my eyes to the fun of solving mathematical equations, just like a puzzle! And this idea is applicable to my passion for coding in Java.
Despite the fact that learning algebra may not directly help you achieve your life-long goal right away, the universal truth behind its logic will take you on an incredible journey through endless discovery and curiosity. Remember this; the easier a thing is to use, the faster it becomes useless. So, this is relevant to all sorts of things in life. Don’t expect a result to arrive right away. Life is like a long marathon. No matter how slow you feel you are going, you are still way ahead of those who are sitting on the couch.
Day by day, plant a seed in your life. No matter how old you are, you can always start over. And keep your curiosity alive. The day you lost your curiosity is the day you die inside. There are many people who stopped learning after school. Don’t be one of them. Keep learning, growing, and improving. And if you can, contribute to the world in your own way.
So, let us begin…
