What have you learnt today?

Recently, my company gave all employees a note book. This notebook has no line in every page. It only have some box graphic with this word : Today I learned: (We are then suppose to jot down what we have learn today). Personally, I find that it is a nice gesture of the management to think of this idea. We are free to pen down what we had learned on daily basis. Be it concern our duties in our jobs, our colleague job or anything that we take as a learning process. As a human being, we tends to forget, so by having this little note book which is smaller than an A4 size paper, we can always jot it down and refer to it anytime when there is a need.
I reckon if anyone who open minded, will find that this life is a process of learning. Everyday, we see things around us. Due to our dignity, ignorance or simply boh chap attitude, we just refuse to take it as a learning process. In the event, we sometimes fail to take it as a sign for us to progress to be a better person.

We can learn from anyone, be it a road sweeper or a director general. Every individual have their own uniqueness that somehow, somewhere we can learn something from them. So always ask youself before you start your day "What can you learnt today?" If you do this often, it a way, you will look at things differently and thus make yourself into a positive person.

Today, after getting the notebook, I had learnt that anything that we face in our daily life is a learning journey which will always be an ongoing journey. A journey for us to remember and to be a better person if not for others, it will be for ourselve.
