When you got little, you want more

“When you got little, you want more. When you get more you desire even more. But when you lose it you realize little is enough”

            This thought for the day implies how we should deal with the series of ‘wants’ we have in our life. There are times where we tend to keep on dreaming for more and after obtaining them we still keep on craving even more. Every human being experienced being in the limelight of yearning, what we should realize is learning how to discipline ourselves and learn to say ‘stop’ when we thought this particular wants we have were not that necessary.

            In terms of education, we would notice that a child starts schooling at age of five. Before he went to school he had already series of learning at home through his parents guide. He would then learn how to read and write upon entering school. His needs of knowledge do not stop after achieving the erudition of reading and writing so he keep on striving to the next level of learning..now includes comprehension, and perhaps, application and evaluation. After elementary and high school, he would probably take college education and possibly a master or a doctorate degree. In this series of learning process we could see the chain of learning do not stops. It is continuous. Truly, education is a lifelong process, but, we should bear in mind that not all learning produces good crops. We should put limitation within ourselves and make sure whatever learning we had will contribute not only for our self progression but also will benefit other people.

            The last line of the thought for the day “when you lose it you realize little is enough” happens not literally in learning but in terms of some resources we had in the process of education. Like for example we had limited financial resources, it teaches us to be thrifty and resourceful in making our resources suitable to the project or requirements to be submitted.
