Learning curve

Have you ever wondered how learning is different for everybody.We choose to absorb what we enjoy . Unfortunately the world measures learning rather differently. In the recent past I realised I have had a urge to try something new.I decided to take dance lessons.It was a childhood passion but I never pursued it but lately though I don't have the luxury of time in my hands I seem to enjoy trying it.Its physically more enduring now but I feel the thirst to try something new.
As kids I think since we have a lot more opportunities in front of us and the time to try them all we do not value them as much.As we grow older we tend to use the time the best we can and if we want to pursue our passion we need to do the best we can to fit it in.
I guess the learning curve does not have anything to do with your age.I believe in the quote " Wear out ,don't rust out" .If you are capable of something then you need to work hard trying to keep it alive.You can stop when you are tired of doing it but do not stop unless you have tried. We all make our choices in life.In the recent years especially there are more working women than there were 10 years ago.Very few women make a choice to stay home and for some of them it is no longer even an option.
Whether you are at home or pursuing a career I think its important to thrive to be on the learning curve in order to keep the mind alive.I think its important to provide that edge for the mind so we can constantly tell ourselves we are still capable of absorbing new things that change around us.
Throw in a little challenge everyday in your life and there will always be something to look forward to the next day.
Try this fun puzzle and tease your brain

GOOD LUCK
