Today I was in a class for
mechanical engineering, and I learned something pretty cool. I learned that
we should strive our whole lives to learn new things. I know it sounds
very simple and really not profound, but it hit me pretty hard. It is
easy to become content with how I am and how things around me are, but if I
want to make true progression and better myself then I need to be constantly learning.
This got me thinking about the Finnish language. I am very blessed
to be able to speak even a word of Finnish. And I feel that I should not
let this talent that God has given me go to waste. I have the opportunity right now to work in
Finnish, which is awesome, but I feel that I also need to continue learning the
language so that I can become more proficient.
I feel that it is important to
learn new things. When I was on my mission I came to the realization that
I have the ability to learn and do whatever I want as long as I put in the
effort. Learning takes effort. But this opened my eyes to all of
the possibilities that I was missing out on to become a better person.
When I got home I decided that I would dedicate more of my time to
learning. Since then I have learned how to fix a lot of things on my own
vehicles, how to country dance, how to use a business vocabulary in Finnish and
lots more. It is such a blessing that we have the ability to learn and I
plan on learning new things my whole life.
