Input = Output (Result)
If you are not satisfy with who you are now (result) and you want to change that, the ONLY thing you need to do is change the input.

We are customed to doing the same thing using the same methods that often resulted in similar outcome (result). Despite the fact that we are not happy with the result, we continue to act in the same way when a similar problem presented itself.

Albert Einstein said that you cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that created it.

So, try changing the input by changing the way how you look at a particular problem, it a good starting point. It is easier said than done.

Knowing how to say it easily takes a lot of knowledge. Ever wonder why we often faced difficulties trying to explain things to others? Having asked that, there were times we can articulate ourselves very well. Why? That is true only when we are well versed with the subject concerned.

In the information age, without knowing what is happening is the real danger majority of us face. To know, we need knowledge and that comes with learning.

Knowledge = Learning

Learning can never stop. A typical route of gaining knowledge is started by mainstream education provided, in most cases, by the government. Graduating from mainstream education during our school years is only the end of the beginning. It is only the first phase of learning. The mainstream education, apart from transferring knowledge, should instill the students with the skill of continuous learning. Simply said, cultivate the habits of learning. It is a crucial step that kick start the next phase of learning.

An important skill of learning is reading. The reading skill must start early, if possible, even during preschool years, before mainstream education begins.

One of the challenges of not changing input is procastination. When you put a live frog into boiling water, it will jump out immediately. On the other hand, if you put a live frog in room temperature water and start boiling the water. The water temperature gradually increases. The frog, being comfortable with the slow changing environment, will not realise the danger. Soon, it will be cooked.

Often, we fail to realize the implication of this inaction, until very late in our life. Some may died not knowing this nature concept.
