On exercising the mind
Written on Friday, 15 of January, 2010 at 8:43 pm
For two years I had been working as a web designer for the same company. I worked on at least three websites a month so I think you could already imagine how geeky I am. The thing is, I think I forgot about the other things I have learned in college. Subjects like Cisco networking, Basic Electronics and Geometry are just some of the things I already forgot. It just proves that the mind also needs exercise. It only remembers the things important to daily activities. Come to think of it, if this goes on, I might end up an expert web designer without knowledge on other important things.
My supervisor always suggests that I learn other things which are not related to work. Things like martial arts, yoga, baking, or even sports. I am not really into that stuff but I would also want to try software programming and SEO. But studying can be a big hassle for employed people so I decided to take an online degree. With this I can study in the most convenient time for me.
Learning is a continuous process and we should not keep our mind stagnant. Again, the brain needs exercise too so to keep the good ideas flowing; we must try to study different things other than our work.
