EVERYWHERE IS A SCHOOL
EVERYWHERE IS A SCHOOL
He was always observing how the engineers worked on the machines. The act of fixing the machines caught his interest whenever he saw them working. Everyday, he would listen to them talk, describe and operate the machines. He never said a word but kept observing and learning.
As time passed, he continued to learn about the machines. Two years later, he became a pro.
You know what he did? He didn't waste his time and he didn't overlook the activities around him. For him, it was an opportunity to learn. He made the workshop a school.
The same applies to you. You don't need to attend a special school to acquire certain skills. You can learn by observing and watching. As a matter of fact, observation always precedes discovery.
Everywhere is a school, so as you journey through life, learn as much as you can.
Sometimes, you even learn better and faster by sheer observation than the traditional way of reading and writing. So don't wait to be taken to a special class or school before you open your heart to learning. Anytime you see people around you focusing on a particular skill that piques your interest, pay attention. It's very beautiful to "know something about everything " and it is possible to make everywhere your school.
Don't get this wrong, going to school is very important. If I didn't go to school, I won't be writing this now ☺ but believe me you don't need to attend a particular class to acquire certain skills. You can learn by simply observing, watching and paying attention to what people around you do.
Learn from every situation. Learn from people you meet everyday. Everywhere is a school, Everyman is a teacher and you should be an observer.
