Are your beliefs of value?

"People can get value only when they assign value to what they are getting."

I feel prouder and prouder each day. My blog is growing and is able to reach out to more and more people despite it being young. For you guys who keep coming back, do not worry, I will not fail you guys, definitely, there’s something for you to learn, don’t hesitate to communicate with me either by commenting or tagging.

I know that knowledge is power, many people also know that fact, sometimes it puzzles me how people know a way to become successful, to have a purpose in life but they do not take heed of it. After seeing the quote at the top of the post, I began to understand.

Whatever I can share with you are to me the most valuable; I seek only to share the best of what I’ve experienced with you people I’ve identified wanting and willing to change. They may be very helpful information. To me their price is priceless, but to you, how much is it worth? If you do not believe in what I’ve learnt, no matter how well it put it, it will not change you, because you will not see enough value in it to be open-minded to it.

Let’s put it in a less serious way. In a class of forty people, there are always top scholars and people who have much room for improvement. The teacher is the same; the length of lessons is the same. Excluding the fact that the top scholars ask and learn more after school from the teachers, everything taught is exactly the same. What is the difference?

Please ask yourself, when in school, how much does what a teacher teaches you make you believe it is practical in the real world?

Many of us do not believe in the value of information taught in school. We thus do not pay attention in class, after all we could always just do a last minute study to get the good results; the fact that we do not need to absorb the information makes it become something of no value. If we assign no value to it, we would never ever place any importance in learning; we would never give our best into learning it.

So today, I’ve made up my mind to learn and absorb so I can reshare. The value of every piece of information to me is priceless. I take every piece with utmost sincerely and with full faith that it will make me a better person. My friend, may I ask you if that is what you are currently doing with the generous information that I’ve left on my blog?

Value in something makes learning worthwhile. I’ve always been aware that I’m not a perfect person; I take criticism positively as they are the best ways people feedback to me what I’ve room to improve. Today Mr. Edwin shared something with me; he shared how to communicate better, how to influence my friends in a better way. He shared with me how his thinking was like 2 years before, as he sensed that I was undergoing a slight bit of trouble and down ness. I just realized something; I may be trying too hard in a short amount of time expecting results in too unreasonable a timing.

Let’s take this picture as an example.

Everyone starts out negatively; no successful. The blue arrow is the difficult part of learning where you become a disillusioned learner easily where things are not going well for you. This is where I am now; things have more ways to be better.

Sometimes the old negative feelings come back to me, where I feel like giving up, but I can’t, I fear I might be even less positive than what I used to be, I have to keep going.

After the red line passes through the time-axis, things get easy, things get easier.

For anything, this learning curve exists, read and re-read, you’ll understand the curve. One thing to note is, quitting in the blue stage is worst than not even attempting to learn. I hope to leave you friends with just one question. For anything, do you have the courage to take the first step, the perseverance to maintain till things get easier?
