Growth And Humility

  The knowledge and experiences we gain in life are truly mysterious, unfolding their value in unpredictable ways. While the timing may vary, there inevitably comes a moment when these learnings can benefit others. However, as people acquire more knowledge and experience, some risk becoming arrogant. This highlights the importance of nurturing their humanity alongside their intellectual and professional growth. For working adults, the span of approximately 40 years between starting a career and retiring presents a significant opportunity for development. The gap in ability between those who continue learning and those who stop is vast.

In human history, every story has two sides, the positive and the negative. For example, the invention of the printing press greatly facilitated the dissemination of knowledge and expertise, and the invention of the motor vehicle dramatically transformed human mobility.

  When I review the short essays I've written in the past, I notice a mix of well-written pieces and others that are less polished. Regardless of their quality, each essay reflects the effort I've put into generating ideas and finding inspiration. I've realized that by simply changing the perspective and expression of these essays, I can enhance their value significantly. The most challenging aspect of creation, whether it's writing or any other form of art, is the initial spark of inspiration. To ensure that this valuable resource is not wasted, I've adopted a practice of revisiting my work after six months or a year. This allows me to reassess its worth and often discover new ways to improve it. Engaging in this process has taught me the importance of creativity and experimentation. By being open to new perspectives and approaches, We can continuously refine our work and push ourselves to new creative heights.
