Day 74
4th October 2011
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 an amazing gift 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 or 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!
