How To Learn New Things By Yourself?
Nothing is as useless, as to put effort to do something, that the world is well without...
The most important thing to keep going in life is "Purpose". Without a purpose we are just a follower of yesterday. Purpose is what keeps us motivated to cling on to our interests. Now talking about interests, one needs to be wise to choose one. If we want to keep doing something for long, the interest has to be rooted in our heart and mind. People talk about "lifelong learning" - I feel if life is a candle, interest is the flare, and purpose is the wick - the deeper the wick runs, the longer the candle burns.
Once we have an interest and the purpose to follow it, learning is the only path to discover. In the beginning, I used to wait for the "appropriate" time to learn - well, there's never a more appropriate time than the present. I used to wait for the "appropriate" resources to learn and I realised - the little that I have is just enough to start with, the rest will keep coming along the way. When I first started learning Data Science, I found no one who could help me with it. But now, I feel most people that I talk to, talk about Data Science!! The orientation of mind changes the orientation of the world around us. One just needs to start walking.
Believing in what we do, will keep the boat sailing, will keep the hunger burning and the truth prevails in this world - no money can buy knowledge, no money can earn it. It's what lies inside makes the difference.
