THE LEARNING HUB: There is always something ghostly

There is always something ghostly about living constantly in a well-ordered state. You cannot step into the street or drink a glass of water or get on a streetcar without touching the balanced lever of gigantic apparatus of laws and interrelations, setting them in motion or letting them maintain you in your peaceful existence; one knows hardly any of these levers, which reach deep into the inner workings and, coming out of the other side, lose themselves in a network whose structure has never yet been unraveled by anyone. So one denies their existence, just as the average citizen denies the air, maintaining that it is empty space. But all these things that one denied, these colorless, odorless, tasteless, weightless, and morally indefinable things such as water, air, space, money, and the passing of time, turn out in truth to be the most important things of all, and this gives life a certain spooky quality. ~Robert Musil (Book: The Man Without Qualities https://amzn.to/3Nw9mBg) (Art: P...

THE LEARNING HUB: Life happens.

Life happens. And it happens fast. Life happens over years and at times it happens within a split second. Life hits harder than anyone can. It hits so hard that your lungs cry out for air, making you realize how precious Life is. Yet Life is so tender. It leaves you speechless. It has you yearning for more. More tenderness. More love. More of the good. Our moments that make up Life colour us. It colours us with joy. Happiness. Some moments in life leave you breathless.. Some moments change you. Moments are like windows we look through. Some frozen, some clear, some half open. There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back. Many moments I would recast. But I know it will then change my life forever. The direction. The purpose. The now. Life is all about moments. Not days. Not weeks. Not years. Don’t wait for them, create them. We have moments of truth when we are tested, decisions that have to be made, or even a crisis that has to be faced. Some moments shine like precio...

THE LEARNING HUB: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023

THE LEARNING HUB: It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than..

It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than the beasts. Man is impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic. Thus, no animal is clever enough, when there is a drought, to imagine that the rain is being withheld by evil spirits, or as punishment for its transgressions. Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the pr...

THE LEARNING HUB: What 10 things should I do every day to become smarter?

1. Brush your teeth with the opposite hand. Basically trying to be ambidextrous pushes your brain to work harder to do the same tasks. This challenges your mind to make different connections and prevents deteriorating with age. 2. Learn at least 5 new words in another language every day.

Turn nouns into verbs It’s a great way to make you sound clever and memorable when you meet someone new. It makes what you say to-the-point and deep impressive.

Excessive smartphone use is detrimental to cognitive performance. You can also delete unnecessary apps from your phone. 5. Try caffeinated drinks Caffeine stimulates your ability to concentrate, put you in a better mood, and can increase motivation. A ...

THE LEARNING HUB: How would you know that if a person is genuine or not in a relationship?

You fall in love with the person, who brings out the best in you, and makes you love the person you are, when you are around them. The soul of a person is always revealed. There are no secrets, that behavior does not reveal. The problem is, most choose to believe the chatter, the words, that are meant to fool your intelligence, and betray your heart. The number one tool, that deceptive people use to get you addicted to them is, flattery, they tell you what you want to hear, and what you most need to hear. They make you feel beautiful, and special. And then they stop. They distance themselves, or disappear for a while. They continually play this game to get you addicted to them. And the times, they are loving towards you. The difference between a genuine person, and a deceptive person is, the genuine person does not change, the minute you show them love. They don't run, immediately after you give them your acceptance. They don't go back and forth between loving you and distancin...

THE LEARNING HUB: 10 Lessons from the book "Skills Rather Than Just Degrees" by Professor Isa Ali Pantami:

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2. Weakness can be turned into hatred Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not b...

THE LEARNING HUB: Of course, we can't visit every place or..

Of course, we can't visit every place or meet every person or do every job, yet most of what we'd feel in any life is still available. We don't have to play every game to know what winning feels like. We don't have to hear every piece of music in the world to understand music. We don't have to have tried every variety of grape from every vineyard to know the pleasure of wine. Love and laughter and fear and pain are universal currencies. We just have to close our eyes and savour the taste of the drink in front of us and listen to the song as it plays. We are as completely and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum. ~Matt Haig.

THE LEARNING HUB: People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered..

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. ~Kent M. Keith (Art: Photograph by Daniel Dorsa)

THE LEARNING HUB: Most of us have been raised to believe that the road to a happy life is paved with pleasure..

Most of us have been raised to believe that the road to a happy life is paved with pleasure, and that the pursuit of pleasure is the path to fulfillment. But as we grow up, we begin to realize that life is not always easy or pleasurable. In fact, much of it is difficult and painful. We all experience loss, disappointment, illness, aging, and eventually death. We encounter stress, anxiety, and fear. We suffer from the slings and arrows of everyday life. And yet, we continue to cling to the idea that happiness is found in pleasure and the avoidance of pain. We try to avoid our painful experiences by numbing ourselves with drugs or alcohol, distracting ourselves with TV or social media, or obsessing over our work or our relationships. But the more we try to avoid the basic reality that all human life involves pain, the more we are likely to struggle with that pain when it arises, thereby creating even more suffering. The truth is that happiness is not found in the avoidance of pain, but i...

THE LEARNING HUB: What Six Habits Can Transform My Habits Completely

The 6 habits of a fearless and virtuous man/woman can transform your confidence completely and make you happy, confident, and assured: 1. Avoidance of regret Often times, when we choose the wrong course of action, we have a feeling of regret, or a feeling of “what if I had chosen differently?” It’s human nature to desire happiness, but when we make wrong decisions, we often suffer. For example, a person can choose the wrong job because of a lack of job opportunities in a different career field. Or a person can choose the wrong girl or boy because they have so much chemistry with that person (and they feel like they’ll be “forever” together). The key is to learn to avoid regret and avoid regret behavior. Learn to avoid regret by learning to adapt and respond with grace and dignity in situations where you can’t choose the right path. To learn how to avoid regret, you first need to know how to cultivate the mental discipline of patience. Then, you must learn to perceive the present moment...

THE LEARNING HUB: It's a funny thing about the modern world..

It's a funny thing about the modern world. You hear girls in the toilets of clubs saying, " ... He didn't love me. He just couldn't deal with love. He was too f*cked up to know how to love me." Now, how did that happen? What was it about this unlovable century that convinced us we were, despite everything, eminently lovable as a people, as a species? What made us think that anyone who fails to love us is damaged, lacking, malfunctioning in some way? And particularly if they replace us with a god, or a weeping madonna, or the face of Christ in a ciabatta roll then we call them crazy. Deluded. Regressive. We are so convinced of the goodness of ourselves, and the goodness of our love, we cannot bear to believe that there might be something more worthy of love than us, more worthy of worship. Greetings cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love. No. Everybody deserves clean water. Not everybody deserves love all the time. ~Zadie Smith (Art: Painting by Alia E. El...

THE LEARNING HUB: There is an old Eastern fable about

There is an old Eastern fable about a traveler who is taken unawares on the steppes by a ferocious wild animal. In order to escape the beast the traveler hides in an empty well, but at the bottom of the well he sees a dragon with its jaws open, ready to devour him. The poor fellow does not dare to climb out because he is afraid of being eaten by the rapacious beast, neither does he dare drop to the bottom of the well for fear of being eaten by the dragon. So he seizes hold of a branch of a bush that is growing in the crevices of the well and clings on to it. His arms grow weak and he knows that he will soon have to resign himself to the death that awaits him on either side. Yet he still clings on, and while he is holding on to the branch he looks around and sees that two mice, one black and one white, are steadily working their way round the bush he is hanging from, gnawing away at it. Sooner or later they will eat through it and the branch will snap, and he will fall into the jaws of ...

THE LEARNING HUB: Hope locates itself in the premises

Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act. When you recognize uncertainty, you recognize that you may be able to influence the outcomes — you alone or you in concert with a few dozen or several million others. Hope is an embrace of the unknown and the unknowable, an alternative to the certainty of both optimists and pessimists. Optimists think it will all be fine without our involvement; pessimists take the opposite position; both excuse themselves from acting. It’s the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things we can know beforehand. We may not, in fact, know them afterward either, but they matter all the same, and history is full of people whose influence was most powerful after they were gone. ~Rebecca Solnit (Art: Photograph by Bill Brandt)

THE LEARNING HUB: What are some confidence hacks

1.Deepen your voice as much as possible while speaking. 2.Be loud and clear. Never mumble stuff. Even if you're telling the right thing, talking with a low volume makes you look like an unsure person. 3.While walking, always stay upright with your chest facing forward. 4.Always maintain eye contact while speaking or delivering a speech. Looking elsewhere shows doubt and nervousness. 5.Never fidget with things like keys etc. or play with your fingers. All of this is a sign of nervousness. 6.Always make sure that you have a natural smile on your face when you're discussing something casual. It'll make you look more comfortable. 7.Use as much space as possible. The more the space you use, the more confidence you demonstrate. 8.Make sure you make relevant hand and body gestures while delivering speeches. Never stay stiff. 9.Always be well groomed 10.Above all, let go of your fears. They are your main demons. Never care about what others would think and voice your opinion. Cheer...

THE LEARNING HUB: ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house. 2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority. 3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do.

THE LEARNING HUB: To love life, to love it even...

To love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it and everything you've held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands, your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air, heavy as water more fit for gills than lungs; when grief weights you like your own flesh only more of it, an obesity of grief, you think, How can a body withstand this? Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you, again. ~Ellen Bass (Art: Photograph by Ben Zank)
