A true learner at heart….

A comedian says he faces humiliation every day – he learns to throw away items that do not work, uses the ones that work, and goes for the ones that every culture respond to.

Success is never guaranteed to anyone. But it is within nearer reach of the one who is less concerned about ego / pride, and more concerned about improving.

Like the toddler who suddenly learned he / she can stand up and move on 2s instead of 4s, then goes onto experience movement with lots of tumbles, bruises, and outright pain, never stopped till he /she walked, we adults must face failures / mistakes / humiliation with similar determination.

No toddler ever gave up even when the knocks get hard, no parents would allow the kid to give up.

So, learners, Learning Designers in the making, learn from the toddler. :) If you fall 100 times, pick up and walk again 100 times.

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
