A
common proverb says that “Self help is the best help”. In today’s competitive
world this proverb holds very true. In the fast paced world, everyone is
striving to succeed and achieve the best and people are ready to devote hard
work and all their sincerity towards the goal that they have set for
themselves. But sometimes it is noted that howsoever they have worked behind
the goal they fail to achieve the desired results. Have we ever tried to ponder
over the reasons behind this? Some probably know and that is why some succeed more than the others. The
fact that makes them succeed more than others is their urge to study more and
know more. They leave no stones unturned to open all vistas for knowing and
gaining knowledge. This is self study and self learning.
Undoubtedly
teachers and mentors are very essential in the in the difficult path of
attaining wisdom but only that person succeeds who can apply the acquired
wisdom on his/her own. And that can be possible only when that person would
strive to learn things on his/her own. In the modern world of science and
technology self learning has become even easier with technological means and
methodologies. E books, online journals, chat sessions, online assessments and
so on can be accessed anytime for gaining perfection in the area one is
studying or researching on. The social networking sites too are very good means
of sharing and acquiring knowledge.
If
one wants to succeed there can be no substitute for self study and self
learning. It not only helps in gaining knowledge and broaden the horizons of
wisdom it is one of the best ways in which a person can fruitfully devote
his/her time too. As was once pointed by the great scientist Albert Einstein:
“Never regard study
as duty but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating
influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to
the profit of the community to which your later work belongs”
