“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” – Mahatma Gandhi
I woke up this morning, smiling to myself and thank God for the past 46 years of my life. I am able to have another day to do what I want to do; to serve, inspire and learn. There is so much to learn, new day, new learning.
Some of my new discovery on learning tools is as below:
- PechaKucha
I find value in learning from other people’s sharing and the content is not long winded. Short and sweet, find the topics that you can resonate with and start learning. - IdeaCity
This is the TED Talk of Canada and it’s not that formal. The content is broader and and more open. - Ignite
If you only have 5-6 minutes of time (while waiting), you may want to look into this site… short sharing with some interesting learning content.
I believe that as long as we are willing to learn, there are a lot of great learning tools to be discovered. Some of the existing learning tools I like will be as below:
- Ebooks
As I put them in my mobile phone, I can take it anywhere with me, especially when waiting for food to be served in the restaurant, I can read or in the morning, when I wake up, resting… it can be a good time to read as well. - Podcast
I can listen to the podcast while exercising (treadmill, walk) and cleaning the house. A great habit to stack with and can discover new ideas from listening. - TED Talk
It helps when I need ideas for research and reminder on how I can present better. - YouTube
Good or bad, everything can be found in YouTube, the choice is ours, what to watch and learn from. - Books
In my humble opinion, nothing beats reading physical books. The feeling of flipping the page and highlighting when necessary. Great feeling to have! - Online courses
Lucky to say that, the current workplace has a business account with Udemy… endless learning to choose from. Yahoo! There are a lot of other great online learning providers available. - Workshops
Whether attending one or being a facilitator, I can learn a lot from observation, conversation and sharing during the session.
“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” – Albert Einstein
