Common Mistakes - A Learner Must Avoid

While working with ‘Nectar’ to train and coach people for ‘Learning Skills & Techniques’, I have come across with some common mistakes which Learner usually commit regularly during the program workshop. 

Some of these mistakes are listed below...

1. Google Guru – Google, Wikipedia, websites etc are rich sources of information and knowledge, however it is not reliable guru of ‘Learning Skills & Techniques’.

For most of the people Guru Google and other search engines usually add more confusion than providing clarity of the subject while they try to learn ‘Learning Skills & Techniques’.

2. A real time Guru can not be substituted - A Guru is supposed to remove your doubt and ignorance in an interactive way. Those who are no longer available for interaction simply cannot help you with your doubts; thus they can motivate, facilitate, guide but can not train or coach you for ‘Learning Skills & Techniques’. 

A real time Guru ensures better learning into you.

3. Chess doubles is a spoiled game - Few games are not played in doubles. At any one given time you can never mix two or more Guru together for one specific skill, and still hope to be honest to either one of them. In such case one plus one is always less than one. 

You must trust your Guru. Your devotion leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to wisdom. There is nothing more purifying than knowledge.

4. Either you argue or you learn - Debate only generates heat, and no light. If you approach the learning with a challenging attitude, the knowledge will always elude you but sincere learners are always rewarded.

5. Respect your Guru's methodology - Methodology is the medium through which knowledge is propagated and learning is done. Guru and Learner go hand in hand and are inseparable for learning to happen, in absence of either one whole purpose of learning gets defeated.

6. ‘This is’ v/s ‘That is’ fight is needless - ‘This is and That is’ may be manifestations of the same learning, presented to you in different forms. This diversity appreciates creation, and not creates divisions in the process of learning. Some process treats you as a doer by prescribing necessary actions that you can perform such as study, practice, exams etc, some other process reveals the nature of the very inquirer into you. 

7. All Guru are not same - Often I read posts advocating that all Guru teach the same thing. While I can appreciate the intention of those posts, it is just incomplete way to look at the training and coaching, and very dishonest too. A limited action cannot earn a permanent result. Limited mind can only fetch you limited learning. An absolutely free mind from all limitations is required to gain limitless learning. When you are under training or coaching, you still may have to struggle to get a "front seat" to learn your favourite skill or subject.

So let us accept that all Guru are different, and let us accommodate these differences without badmouthing them, and focus on our own.

8. Desire, Devotion, Discipline are preparatory steps to achieve learning - A rightful amount of desire, devotion and discipline is the right attitude with which you shall conduct all our learning activities; ultimately it boils down to success and happiness through Knowledge alone.

Eradicate these mistakes from your system and become an extraordinary learner.

CHANGE - Eradicate Evils ?

" Our professional and personal life is infested with so many 
Evils, Malpractices, Prejudices, and Orthodox Customs "

Superficial analysis of these will conclude that these evils can be tackled through external measures, like following the rules and regulations. 

Though a deeper probe here shall reveal that these are only manifestations of weakness in personal character which may take the shape of evils. 

These evils may have different shapes but all of them arise from a common weakness - lack of moral character.

It is not only assumed but believed that every person has healthy discipline. 
And there is always a scope for expression of this ideal conducts. 
Alongside, there are some evils prevalent. It is for the individual to choose. 

This choice will depend on the one's personal character. 
A narrow-minded, selfish, coward and vicious person will choose prevalent evils. 
Whereas courageous person who exercise discretion will choose wisely.
Choice can not be forces on any one as freedom excludes any coercion.

It is evident that each one of us have both the best and the worst choices which we choose and accept according to our mentality. 
The ones we choose to follow, we regard that as traditional best practices and customs.
The others that we reject, are labeled as obsolete, ridiculous or irrelevant.

No practice is regarded as universal good or bad.

One may blame the forces of rules and regulations of custom and tradition for choosing the undesirable and bad. Though it suited their mentality the most.
Compulsions, both Professional and personal, are cited as an excuse for doing something that is otherwise regarded as reprehension. 
These excuses are unacceptable from a person who seeks change for betterment. 

Whenever someone has tried to defy evil customs and traditions then their efforts and courage have been praised and much appreciated. 
Such courage helps the relatively weak willed persons and they also start defying evil customs on the analogy of some one having done so before.

Thus a chain starts building to change for new and better.

It is always advised that one, a leader, should formulate healthy professional customs and traditions which leads to good and positive. 
We must be mindful so that our conscience pricks whenever our acts are immoral or unethical. When no one is looking at us, its our character which leads us. 

One should not be scared of disapproval or non-acceptance by others. 
Ultimately the world will realize the right of your convictions. 
Here you will earn the respect of having changed for new and good what many could not do collectively.

" The fight against changing the world for good and better has often 

to be launched singly by winning over the evils "
