Learning is a journey you stupid xxxx

Posted on 16 July 2007 by DeanHunt

One of the most important lessons I have learned recently is to not run in the garden when the ground is wet. But by far the second most important lessons is this:

Learning is a journey not a destination

That may sound like I have been have been drinking too much herbal tea, but trust me, too many people these days seem to think that you can open a book, or purchase a course, and 2 hours later you will be rich and happy.

It doesn’t work like that!

I bet we all have bought something that we thought would change our lives, I bet for most of us we didn’t even complete reading it, listening to it etc…

If you can focus on, and enjoy the journey, then the destination will arrive without effort.

I suppose in some ways this is why I am not religious. (I will let you figure this out)

Speak soon you stupid xxxx (just joking, I love you really)

    I understand it, but also am extremely annoyed at the fact that people feel entitled to success. They think that buying a course will magically transform them into a business superstar. After spending YEARS working my butt off to get a little taste of success that old mindset annoys me to no end, especially since I used to have it and wasted so much of my life dreaming instead of learning. Blaming instead of taking responsibility. Buying more and more info instead of taking action!

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
