The Secret of Learning

“I am just constantly curious and confused”, says actor Tom Hanks….”I am always pondering about this concept about how a particular force of thought gets started? “Be it history,  art,  theology and architecture...I am constantly inquisitive about how we got here and why do we behave the way we do”.

Insight
To be curious requires an open mind and to admit to being confused, a lot of courage. The two together give the mind the strength to range across a variety of bodies of knowledge to know, to learn and to grow.

The Importance of Acknowledging Others

“it is only natural to congratulate the person who has gone past you.” believes Sunil Gavaskar. So when Sachin Tendulkar equaled his record of 34 Test centuries he sent him a crate of 34 champagne bottles. When Allan Border reached 10,000 Test runs, he sent him a  congratulatory fax. Conversely, when Gavaskar surpassed the 10,000 runs record set by Geoffrey Boycott, there was no response from Boycott. The reason - “(he) … thinks he is ½% better than me”.

Point to Ponder
Acknowledging the work of others calls for a healthy self-esteem & humility. It's also a significant marker of great Leadership.
