Lifelong learning

Last Fri & Sat, I've attended another 2-days training as I am someone who believes in learning more about self and continuously learn new skills. After spending the 2-days, unfortunately, personally I do not see much take away value. The principles were really simple and it is something common i.e. in which all of us may already know. One of it is to have a positive mindset - if there are things that you dislike, fear, dread, visualise a happy moment and use it to dispel the earlier instance of dislike, fear, dread etc. Well, let me put it this way, even if I do that little excercise constantly, it would not be take away/negate my fear - let's say fear of heights. Still not able to picture myself abscaling nor bungee jumping off anytime in the future. Another point in which I disagree would be - be realistic & do not aim too high. Well, here you are telling us to have positive thinking and our lives are our own to direct, if movie directors do not aim high - I do not think we'll be able to witness the brilliance in which all time favourites like LOTR when it was brought to audiences on the silver screen. Of course, I do agree that we have to have some degree of realism - like, I am not going to be the one building the next highest building in the world. Firstly, I am not an engineer by training and this will not work out as I do not know anything about constuction. But hey on the otherhand, if I do make it big next time, I may be the one funding such a project - dreams though but they're mine to keep.

It is inevitable, in life there are rollercoaster rides - with turns, uphill climb, some good trainings in which I believe in and some that will just register as part of my training hours. And the above is not the main purpose of the training, sigh, personally, the techniques taught for the actual topic will be a challenge to apply in real life situations.
