Sweet Tooth

Learning is part of the life process,
or i should say one of the most important element in life.
Learning is just like breathing, it happens unknowingly.
We had our first lesson the day we were born.
Since then we start learning till the day we stop breathing.

Learning is fun and knowledge is sweet.
One can be self-taught or learn through a teacher.
Learning ,of course, is to gain knowledge as knowledge is the fuel for life.
Learning will be extremely enjoyable and enlightening when you are learning something that you like or knowing the reason of learning.


Indisputably, we enjoy obtaining knowledge that we are interested in
because they are something that we wish to know.
When one has the passion, one will determine to learn regardless of whatever difficulties and obstacles.
Also, when we know the reason for our learning, only then we'll know where can we apply it and thus, develop our interest.
A simple example, most of the primary school students know nothing about why they have to learn. They just learn because they are told to learn.
Do you see any happiness in their learning?

However, there are exceptions.
Sometimes, we might not know why we are learning but the learning process itself
will make us stop asking why but eager to learn more.
How?

This happens when you understand what you are learning.

I always thought i was forced to take Accounting.
Well indeed, i had no choice but to take it.
I said to myself, why not give it a try.
Weeks has passed,
and i find myself like chewing dry leaves when i'm doing Accounting....boring and dont know why i'm doing.
The turning point came only after i met her!

Ms. Wong makes Accounting so easy to be understood and interesting.
But the most important thing is,
she makes me eager to attend her lesson and learn more about Accounting.
Her every sentence lights up a bulb over my head and also leaves me pondering.

This makes me smile, smile because i have tasted the sweetness of knowledge!
She makes me understand Accounting and thus leads me to become keen on this subject.
How influential and powerful a teacher can be!!! ah.....

^^

That is why learning is fun because at times you can experience the feelings
of sucking a candy......sweet.

Jews have a very special practice.
It is said that Jews put honey on books and let their children to lick it.
Why? This is actually to let their children know that knowledge is sweet.

So, if you have a sweet tooth , get yourself some knowledge by learning!
