The statement struck right through my mind racing at a lightening speed while going through my friend's status on facebook. I really owe a lot to this statement as i can straight away see myself that ways. i thought to share a few of those thousand thoughts running through my mind when i recall this statement - 'the more i learn, the more i feel the less i know.'
my entire life fits into this very short, simple, straight statement and i think everyone else's too..
i have chosen advertising as my career. advertising- one of the most uncertain, happening, glamor oriented & market trend run industry. i entered the flamboyant industry with a charm in me thinking it would be the most happening place in the world.. to some extent it is true. it IS the most happening place in the world where nobody sleeps. there is always a struggle to create bigger & better and to deliver much more that the normal expectations.
there is so much happening in the agency & lot more being developed & created every moment & to be in the loops and grasp everything is just not possible. trust me! its very difficult to establish yourself in an ever changing industry like this.
every day is a new day here, every task is a new task and every mistake is a new learning.. it is not a monotonous job that probably a banker or an accountant does. new experiences get on added every moment. learnign is a continuous process here. and every day something or the other comes my way that i dont know or have a slightest knowledge about. that when i feel ' the more i know, the more i feel the less i know..'
even in life it is the same. we meet new people, we face new problems, we adjust to new surroundings, we compromise with cllosed ones, we learn from the learned, we explore the adventure, we speak the unspoken & we live a new US!
life gives back more to what we give to life. that's where i rememer a few lines here....
Ten Rules for Being Human - by Cherie Carter-Scott
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
