It is okay to look foolish for a day than it is to look foolish forever. Learning is not comfortable. It brings out the worst in us.

Learning is more than just collecting facts. It is not about facts. It is about life. Learning is how you live your life.

Learning is what is important to you. Learning makes you come alive. You are a learner when you question your own assumptions, when you ask yourself tough questions.

People who are willing to look foolish are learners. They are okay with who they are.

When you believe in yourself, you are willing to look foolish.

According to Dan, ‘Those willing to look foolish end up learning and thriving.’

Remember, ‘Everything is difficult until it becomes easy.’

If you want to grow, you must be willing to look stupid. If you want to thrive, you must be willing to look foolish.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to look foolish?’

The Necessary Ingredients Of happiness

“One is happy as a result of one’s own efforts, once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness- simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience.”- George Sand, poet

You are the maker of your own happiness. You are responsible for your own happiness. It does not come from outside. Your happiness is within you. According to James Allen, “A man is happy, wise and great in the measure that he controls himself; he is wretched, foolish, and mean in the measure that he allows his animal nature to dominate his thoughts and actions.”

Happiness comes from the right thoughts and actions. It does not come from the wrong thoughts and actions. If you want to make yourself happier, you must direct your thoughts.
