I do not know the universal truth and the truth about many issues. That’s why I learn every day.
The last time I read, the human brain can acquire knowledge throughout life, including old age. The fact that people are learning throughout their whole lives is a cliche. Still, it is merely factual. That’s why I read at least one page of a book in a foreign language (in English, to be more precise) daily. In practice, I read a dozen of pages every day in English. I believe that it is one of the best ways to learn new things.
Reading is a workout for our minds.
I believe that the process of learning appears in my mind every day. Today, I work in accountancy (I wrote this text on the 13th of July, 2022). My office job also stimulates me to develop and grow my mind. There was a time when I considered it as an obstacle. Today, I see it as a possibility to learn, to provide stimulus to my mind. Even if it does not directly influence my creative activity, I know it affects it indirectly.
I feel that I started to love learning and developing within the last few months.
I thought I already liked it, but the truth is that I started to feel that I have the power and energy to broaden my horizons since I started doing intermittent fasting and exposing my body to cold (e.g., by taking cold showers). Now I feel the learning process takes me less time and effort than earlier. I am much more effective than a few years ago. Moreover, I feel younger. I can better focus my mind on many things. My job does help me with many issues, not disturbs me. That’s how I transformed an obstacle into something positive. Speaking shortly: I learned something.
