Here are ways to make sure that you do not stop learning and growing:

  1. Try new things. You are busy that you have no time to try new things. Every day is a gift that you cannot take back. Why not try new things instead? Having many hobbies can make a difference at the end of the day. Learning new things for thirty days can help learn new skills. They say that it takes 30 days to acquire new skill. 30 days or not, the possibility are endless.

 

  1. Don’t be afraid to fail. Remember that you cannot learn if you cannot fail. It is true that getting it wrong can help you to get it right the next time – that is how you perfect things. This tells you that making mistakes is normal and it is crucial for self-improvement.

  1. Have a support system. There is no use if you have a decaying environment. By decaying it means having unsupportive people – people that destroy your vigour and life. It is important that you have your group of supporters. If your group is not, it is time to change your crowd. Your supporters should include your mentor.

 

  1. Make long-term plans. There is a big difference between long-term and short-term. If you want a lifetime impact, you have to consider long-term plans. Short-term plans will only give you temporary answer. It should be long-term if you want a positive progress and improvement.

 

  1. Have a positive attitude. When you do something, you have to think that it is fun – regardless of the activity. There are thousand ways to improve and be better but the reality is that you are not going to be successful if you think that it is not fun. Making things enjoyable is not that easy but you only need to look for your inspiration to make things easier for you.

Here in Singapore, many people are so engrossed with getting the job done that they fail to stop learning and eventually growing. The world has a lot to offer if you give it a chance. Do not just sit in your cubicle and wonder where you went wrong because you failed to have a good time and learned from it.
