LEARNING NEVER ENDS.


Whenever I see Professors in any field, I am excited. I want to shine light on their brain and look under its sheets. I want to survey the filaments of their professorship under the microscope. My heart runs the length and breadth of my mind, I become the questions in a questionnaire; I am searching for answers.
You see, the University of Life is not like a conventional University where you listen to a professor speak. It's a University in which everyone is a student and Life itself, being both Chancellor and Professor of sorts, takes us through tests and hard knocks and graduates us with Experiences as our certificate. 
With the rising and setting of the Sun, new hopes and dreams arise that remind us that the more we try to know of one thing, the more we know of what we don't know. Our resources are limited and time is a scarce commodity, hence the need for specificity in learning. Yet, every day gives us the grace of some new learning. But some people are like a cup laden with stale water; water that has been dormant for too long a time. 
There's need to be receptive to the fresh knowledge of innovation. There's always something to learn; from the standing and falling of a crawling baby, it becomes obvious that life is a process of rising and falling until one becomes finally able to stand. There's something to be learned from the breaking of night and day; that when your time to shine comes, nothing can stop you. There's something to be learned through the stuttering lips of a lying politician, that it is not all about what people say to you but rather, it's more about what you say to yourself. 
When Archimedes discovered what would later be known as Archimedes Principle, he was in the most unusual of places, in a bathtub when he displaced an amount of water that illuminated the puzzle that has been on his mind for some time. Then he shouted "Eureka! Eureka!"

Our greatest discoveries must not be when we are straight faced and serious but rather, those simple moments when we open our minds to learn from the simple discussions on the dinner table, to appreciate the sincere singing of a grateful bird and to hear our own inner voices remind us that learning never really ends.
