When I told my relative about the topics that I write about every day, including parenting and career development, one of them said, your circle of friends are all about your age. They don’t have young children, and need no career ladder to climb. I don’t think they are interested in topics like this. All they care now is healthcare.
This is not the first time that I hear people questioning the relevance of my writings to people's life. This is absolutely true. In fact, I don’t need to learn anything at all. Here's my thought:
First, I think, regardless of its immediate relevance to our lives, it’s healthy to keep our curiosities and and minds open to diverse topics, a wide range of perspectives and ideas that can lead to personal growth and a richer understanding of the world.
Second, sharing ideas and insights with friends and relatives can foster meaningful connections and hopefully spark engaging and quality conversations. Even if the topics may not directly apply to our lives at the moment, we can still find value in learning something new.
The world would be markedly different without the curiosity and collaborative sharing among individuals who values lifelong learning, contributing to its unique cultural fabric.
By the way, today is my sister's birthday. Happy birthday to my most hard-working and caring sister!
