Woke up with the schedule, while eating break the constant question of " What is happening around me? " came up to me, and then, mom's sound of getting late to school. After a while at school, everyone was around and the question got invisible. At school, I again
and went to the library and everyone came together. We decided to study different subjects this time.
As time passed by, we were reading and understanding, however, progress was still not to be seen. We took an early 20 minutes off the game and came to the question again " what is happening around me? ". Come to think of it and found that was discussing a lot and executing very little.
I spoke with everyone, asked them " What is one thing they thought we did wrong? "and got the response as " talking and not knowing what to read not understanding the concept and we're not playing ball. " I also shared my thoughts and told them we discussed a lot and worked very little. This meant we need to talk and lower our speaking time and increase our learning.
Then we started setting time for ourselves. For learning 90 minutes will be given and 5 minutes to explain the point concisely. I kept in the back of my head that, on-field we need to change the tactics quickly and everyone should be able to communicate in a short span without wasting much time because timeouts were very short. Coming to discussion it would take 30 minutes as 6 of us had to put the points and it worked. Surprisingly, we finished the entire subject and kept the same pace for every other subject too. Unknowing we drained ourselves completely after 3 subjects and couldn't work more.
So we went for lunch and in lunch were only talking about how cool is the system we found and we are doing it when no one else knows about it, however, when we return were not having energy at all. We couldn't understand what was happening and Stephen was good, he was ready to go. I was wondering what is wrong with me, why am I not able to work? and it struck what dad told me once, " everyone has their own learning curve. " I didn't get it then, I somewhat understood it now.
Then there was an internal dialogue that I always do when I feel I am lost:
Everyone is different, everyone learns at their own pace, some have qualities in certain fields while others have qualities in some other. You just have to keep looking and don't settle.
So I sat down with other guys and did refresh with them, had a break, and relaxed a bit. I understood something about myself, that I can understand things quickly and act on them, however, the journey was going to be long and adventurous. Came home, ate dinner and went to my room and started drawing, and slept with drawing.
