Learning From Three Worlds
Abhijit Bhaduri
If something bothered you enough to wake you up at 2 am, would you have someone you could talk to, whose counsel you could trust, who would listen to you and keep your secret safe?
How many such friends do you have?
When you make plans to celebrate a major milestone in your life, say your wedding, how many friends do you call for the celebration? If you are on Facebook, how many friends do you have there?
Chances are, you have just described the three categories of friends. I have asked these questions to several groups of friends and colleagues.
The word ‘friend’ has undergone a big shift. Most count the number of close friends in single digits. The number of “friends” on Facebook is the largest. The number we would call for a celebration is somewhere in between.
We all live in three worlds simultaneously. The virtual world of friends we make on the net, the friends we keep in touch with in the physical world and the handful of friends we trust that make up our inner world. If the three definitions coincide, so will the numbers.
I have often asked groups of people how they would draw a picture to represent the word “learn”. Most draw a book or a teacher in a classroom with a blackboard. This drawing represents the inner world’s definition of what makes us learn. The inner world is within our control. The school in the physical world needs access to resources someone else may control.
The course content in most schools and colleges is slow to change. At a gathering of management educators, the dean of a well-known college lamented that it takes them three to four years to design the curriculum of a new subject, design assessments and find professors who can offer it to students.
That often makes the content obsolete even before it has been taught. The basic textbook used in marketing by Philip Kotler has remained unchanged over the past 30 years. That may be testimony to how timeless the book is. Then again it could mean how long it takes the physical world to change. In the virtual world, we can learn from many sources. Anyone with a mobile phone and a net connection can access free content that we can use to learn anything from anyone around the world.
The Massive Open Online Courses make it possible for anyone to take a course offered by some of the best known Ivy League professors in any subject for free.
Twitter is my favourite source of learning. It lets me “follow” the smartest people who are continuously sharing everything from breaking news to ideas, insights and treasure troves of information. The virtual world makes learning “whenever, wherever and whomever”.
We may not always be able to influence the physical world. Your employer may need to nominate you to a class that you have waited for the past two years to join. That involves training and travel budgets.
If we only value learning in our inner world, we will miss out the continuous learning that the connected world offers. We will wait to learn from experts and not value the wisdom of the novice.
In a world that is changing constantly, the inner world is often a comfort zone because it is familiar and remains unchanged. The virtual world and physical world are often what we cannot influence readily.
Though it is easier to influence our inner world, it is often the slowest to change. The virtual world can often provide us resources that we may be denied in the physical world. All we need is to do is to decide to connect our inner world occasionally to the virtual world.

Riders reach the crest of a dune during the opening lap of the main race of the 2013 RHL Weston beach race in Weston-Super-Mare, southwest England, on October 13, 2013. Beach racing is an offshoot of enduro and motocross racing. Riders on solo motorcycles and quad bikes compete on a course marked out on a beach, with man-made jumps and sand dunes being constructed to make the course tougher. Riders race along the beach and across a series of sand dunes in a three-hour endurance race.

(Translated from Chinese)
Because none of us have many years to live, and we can’t take along anything when we go, so we don’t have to be too thrifty…
Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don’t leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don’t want them to become parasites who are waiting for the day you will die!!
Don’t worry about what will happen after we are gone, because when we return to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over!
Don’t worry too much about your children, for children will have their own destiny and should find their own way. Don’t be your children’s slave. Care for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money while you can. Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!
Don’t expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render much help.
Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but that you have no claims to their money.
50-year old like you, don’t trade in your health for wealth by working yourself to an early grave anymore… Because your money may not be able to buy your health…
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.
So, as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough. You should live happily. Every family has its own problems. Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better, etc., but challenge others for happiness, health, enjoyment, quality of life and longevity…
Don’t worry about things that you can’t change because it doesn’t help and it may spoil your health.
You have to create your own well-being and find your own place of happiness. As long as you are in good mood and good health, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day passes without happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in a happy spirit, sickness will cure faster; in high and happy spirits; sickness will never come.
With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life of pleasure.
Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around… and FRIENDS… They all make you feel young and “wanted”… without them you will surely feel lost!!

Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe.
It’s then I have to remember,
That it’s in the valleys I grow.
If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God’s love
And would be living in vain.
I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it’s in the valleys I grow.
I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.
My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross.
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan’s loss.
Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I’m feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it’s in the valleys I grow.
Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know;
The mountain tops are glorious
But it’s in the valleys I grow!

मुझे
कुछ अफ़सोस नहीं के मेरे
पास सब कुछ होना चाहिए
था ।
मै उस वक़्त भी
मुस्कुराता था जब मुझे रोना
चाहिए था

Never Design your character like a garden where anyone can walk…!!
But Design your character like the sky where everyone desire to reach..
