Learn Something New
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty
or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is
to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
Recall the days you first learnt
cycling, typing, playing a guitar, a new language etc.! Wasn’t it exciting? It
would have given you some anxiety or tension. But you would have liked it and
it would have kept you busy. Over a period of time, life becomes very
mechanical. If we don’t engage our mind regularly, we will become lazy. There
should be something exciting for the mind and brain every day.
Our brain and mind are amazing
gifts of God. The more we use, the more it will be fit for even more exciting
work. Like a knife or scissor, our mind and brain will become blunt and useless,
if not used regularly. What is used less becomes useless!
Consider the following options:
- Start learning a
new language, music, instrument or skill.
- Every week or
month, start doing something completely new which you’ve not done at all.
- Meet new people
and get to know them.

Develop a new habit, of course, a good habit.
Do this for six
months and watch your excitement in life once again going up!
