Learning should be a continuous process. Live to learn. Learning is the beginning of everything. Never stop learning. Age and time should never stop you from learning.
True enough. Those philosophers, geniuses and random individuals said it all and they said it well.
So, having agreeing to that. Where is this post leading to?
Well, today I had a cup of coffee for breakfast just because my brother kept on commenting on how his coffee was "soooo yummmmy!" ..
so there, I was so convinced that I made myself a cup. I drank just one cup, just one and it didn't turn out well. Caffeine began acting up on my system, I was starting to palpitate and feel tipsy and groggy -- and it was not even alcohol. it was caffeine and the package says its mild! .. definitely not a good way to start my day but because of this, I learned an important lesson -- never drink coffee! .. nah, not true, that won't happen! Too much good tasting coffee around the world to miss out on them .. Really? I realized that my brother was messing around and wanted me to fall into his "oh so yummy coffee" trap .. nah! not true again! my brother is too sweet to make that kind of joke plus I don't think he completely understands the effects of coffee on anyone ..
Ok ok! Seriously, I learned three things because of this:
1. When my brother claimed that he was drinking an "oh so yummy" cup of coffee, that doesn't necessarily means its true. Well, it is actually .. I just wasn't expecting it would make me hear my own heart beat again because it does not happen every time I drink coffee, I just took the risk because my brother made it so convincing .. and that's lesson number 1. I took the risk. I enjoyed the coffee but not the effects of it. Next time, I don't know if it will happen again but if someone would make it sound like drinking coffee is the next best thing to sky-diving .. fine! I'll take another cup!
2. I just woke up when I saw my brother eating alone in the dining table. He greeted me "good morning louise!" then invited me to eat although he really didn't look sad that he was having breakfast by himself, just alone .. I really wasn't in the mood to eat yet .. but you don't leave your brother alone in the dining table and you don't say no to a warm invitation like that -- not to your family.
3. Let's go back to how my brother effortlessly convinced me about his "oh-so-yummy" coffee .. I'm sure he meant well. He didn't force me to take a cup too but that was me trusting him completely that it was indeed as "yummy" as he claimed it to be .. and he didn't even know I wasn't feeling well anymore, I didn't have to tell him. There's no reason to blame him .. and I felt I should be responsible for my own decisions -- for having coffee and for everything else.
See! Learning can be a lot of things -- cheesy, fun, happy, sad, crazy, painful, magical, inspiring, stressful, calming-- everything! It's something that you just have to love because you can. Consider yourself lucky for having to experience life and learn from it at the same time -- big or small. serious or funny. good or bad.

Point is, whether you're 6, 26 .. 36 .. 86 .. Learn! Because life indeed is a learning experience and the lessons learned is what defines you as a person .. till the next palpitation guys! Enjoy a cup of coffee today! :)
