New Learnings

Attended a seminar last night, and it was interesting to learn new terminology, it was about business and investments, Ok not my favorite subject, however I was interested nevertheless.

I heard from someone a while ago, when you submerge yourself in new terminology you gain more awareness especially in areas you are not usually focused in. This is true if you want to do well in that area, so I do want to increase my investments and become more finance-savvy. Makes sense to embrace the lingo and the mechanics (basic level at least)

So I learnt new vocabulary, doesn't seem as scary anymore, especially in the future when I hear these words spoken I will be more captured than my usual 'too hard, don't get it' frame of mind. Also I will be able to contribute and ask smarter questions.

There are new learnings everywhere, we just have to say YES from time to time to get out of our zone and learn new things, after all growth is one of our human needs. In fact when you are in this learning phase all sorts of things happen, opportunities come, people approach you and you are constantly guaging if this is a good move or not. Just remember if this is infact in alignment with your values and purpose.

Too many times people say YES out of fear of rejection and do it for the other person, or the flip side of this is to keep saying NO to the new experiences and not letting people in as they mistrust the world. Do it because you want to and that it serves you to do it, and it fits in with what is important to you.

I must admit I did doze off for about 20 minutes last night, maybe the new jargon hit the overwhelm button!
