The body of a lobster is very soft. In order to protect
itself from other enemies, it creates a shell around it. When it needs to
create a shell, it goes under a rock to hide from its predators and then
generates the shell .Now when the lobster grows; the shell becomes
uncomfortable because the shell does not grow. Finally the lobster realizes
from the uncomfortable feeling that it has grown. Then it goes back to the rock
for hiding and generates the shell. This process of the lobster growing and
regenerating the shell is a continuous process.
Same is the process
of learning, while we are learning we need to encounter discomforts. The more
uncomfortable you are the more you will learn. Quitter might be complacent but
they do not grow. Adverse situations make us grow. Cause we learn. Learning
make us move forward. It is our way of adapting to life. It took me a hell lot
of effort to fight myself to change my team after 7 years of being in the same
team. Change brings churn. You might feel underappreciated, always on toes but
at the end of the day you have learnt more, your brain has made more neural connections.
Some confuse learning with competing. These are very
different concepts. When you are competing, you are competing against A, B, C
and other people. But when you are learning, the only other person you are
competing with is yourself. Are you
better that what you knew /learnt yesterday? There is only one agenda. Am I giving
my personal best today? If not what should I do to be better today
