We all have been learning something new every day in our life. But today let’s just focus on how people usually learn new things and how they should be learning. Most of the time people tend to learn something new because either it’s the trending topic or they see experts earning good money or some kind of pressure, and you know what sometimes it’s all the three together. It’s not wrong to learn something because of the above reasons, after all, we all are working hard to earn money. However, sometimes there is no answer when people are asked ‘whether they are learning what they wanted to learn or whether they are learning it the right way’.

Many people want to learn new technologies and advance themselves. Let me walk you through what most people do when they are eager to learn new technology. For example, some will purchase a course just by looking at its name and the keywords in its description, some will read from websites to know whether it will be easy to learn, and some will check for videos online to convince themselves that they want to learn more. The point is, If you are willing to learn something new then there are two things to consider before starting- ‘Patience and Interest’.

First, ask yourself why you want to learn this and what will you do once you finish. Sometimes when you begin all you want is to learn the concepts well but after some time all you want is to finish it fast and at times during the middle of the process people think about why they even started. Some people finish the course successfully but will not have the interest to work practically.

That’s because you did not know why you wanted to learn it in the first place. Find out if you are interested in pursuing it. Have patience, do some research before getting into it. Before purchasing any course, go through all the free content related to what to want to learn on the internet. Read articles and blogs written about the topic and watch some videos to understand the basics. Search for free courses that are offered and enroll yourself in that and see if you are still interested, continue with the learning and the most important thing is to practice what you learn frequently. Otherwise, just stop wherever you are in the process. There are plenty of things to learn in this big world but there is no point in doing something without your interest. So, continue learning new things but practice ‘Patience and Interest’ before you start.

“It’s okay to not do something that others are doing and it’s okay to fail by attempting rather than failing by just giving up.”
