This is the advice I got from a veteran in the industry and who has had more than 12 years of experience in the communications industry. Always be willing to learn from anyone. The moment you stop learning, you start fading away and you suddenly realise that you are stagnating. That's a very dangerous situation, as you realise that you are dead.

Sounds very cliche, but honestly, haven't you come across situations where you realise that your manager does not know about something or how to do a basic task ? Something that you know too well.

Teaching children can be a great learning experience. They are so innocent and act without prejudice to anybody. Have you ever smiled looking at a hassled father who is dropping his son off to school. The son is clutching his father with both hands, carrying his schoolbag. He is his anchor, safe and secure. It teaches us that no matter in what difficult situation we find ourselves, we will always find our family backing us. Taking care of us, till we can recover and spread our wings again.

Or take for example, the night watchman at your office, who puts in a 12-hour workshift every day and yet you will find the most warm smile on his face, when you enter the building. It makes you feel embarassed about all the times that you have complained whether it's the weather, politics, work, people, relationships and objects.

Often, we rush past these ordinary people to go about official work, our heads buzzing with the hectic schedule that is invevitable. It's also good to take some time off to simply review your life, look at people around you and appreciate them for the efforts they are putting in. It can make a big difference to the ordinary day of some person.
