Pushing your boundaries!

In my younger and more, I was a quiet child who tried not to disturbed anyone, I think this was a result of my parents specifically my dad and school system in Iran.
Later I tried to be more pro-active but then I had this habit of filtering many things and try to avoid many issues.
Being selective in reading and studying stayed with me until almost in my late PhD work. I always thought what is point of taking an extra course of elective about philosophy, sociology or physiology! Writing essays about those topics is waste time, big time! or studying all the point they teach us in the undergraduate degree.
Until recently I had this idea, then I have learned something, what you try to avoid will return and hunt you!
Also, the best way is to learn and be open-minded since learning anything new will add to your skills and information and in today's world those who learn and process fast are the winners.

Dear Alireza, lectures, textbooks, courses, the typical attributes of academic learning are sometimes the sparks, that ignite the fire of knowledge in us. But the fuel for the fire must come from our self. The best learning, the most efficient is by discovering the world, while being in a dialogue with the great spirits of the past.
