Today I learned

by•
The process of entrepreneurship is a consistent battle of learning new skills and mastering old ones. As a marketing professional with over 10 years in the business, I still get surprised at the speed with which the world is changing and our behaviors and patterns with it. So dear PH community, here is my question. What did you learn this week? This month? This year? Consistent life-long learners are some of the best innovators, thinkers, and creators. Let's inspire learning and growth!

Hey, Mehdi, Awesome question which I interestingly have an answer I realized just recently. It's not a new thing, but I'm just starting to see the impact - making few changes in my daily routing, but in a steady rhythm. Trying to get to that "I am a new person" point in too little time just doesn't work. But little changes everyday make the whole difference. Indeed consistency is the key.

@chen_friedman Wow Chen, that's so true! Little changes over time have the biggest impact for sure.

@chen_friedman @susan_harris_scott I remember the old saying which goes like this “Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.” Learning is the continuous process and we shall abide to it for our own prospering as well as the people around us.

@chen_friedman @susan_harris_scott @bhav_singh It's like compound interest, on a holistic scale!

Public, written goals are important for the short, medium and long term. I've known this for a while, but the importance is re-learned or re-enforced on a consistent basis :)

@brian_regan Thanks Brian. Curious about what are your thoughts on folks saying we should build in private, work in silence and not share our goals until it's the right time?
Brian Regan
@g_m_mehdi Its all about communication, not boasting :) For me its a show of respect to the people I'm working with. I want them to know what I'm working towards, where I'm blocked/falling short, and how my goals contribute to the direction of the company. If you're always hitting your goals, they you aren't setting the right goals.

@brian_regan makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input.

@brian_regan I remember this one piece of advice I've heard several years back. "Work on short-term goals to reach the long-term goals."

@iyamendoza01 makes total sense!

I'm adapting to a different work environment (have recently move to a different country) and there's a lot to learn. Right now I'm figuring out helpful routines for staying productive in a new place.
G. M. Mehdi
@maya_ovice Nice. Good luck in the new country. It's always a powerful learning experience!

More people believe in me than I thought. Before today, I thought it was just my family and best friends. :)

@chrystalnicole Strangers are often our best customers - and this is surprising to most people :)

TIL that Brazil sent the athletes on a ship full of coffee because they could not afford to send a team to the 1932 Olympics. The athletes sold the coffee along the way to pay for their travel.
G. M. Mehdi
@amelia_charlie WOW! We've come a long way now but that is not to say that people don't have to go through extremes to fulfil their dreams!

@dylan_merideth Interesting. Care to share this learning in detail?

The most significant learning for me is, that learning is a never-ending process. It seems life is more about the process of learning and less about reaching the goal.
G. M. Mehdi
@yesser_falk It's the journey, not the destination :)
