It's hard when you're all alone.
I was thinking about why it's so hard for me to take action with something, anything, and I believe I've come to a conclusion that is not only true for me, but may also be true for others.
I'm all alone. Throughout my journey of IM, I've never had a mentor of any kind. I seem to be the only person in my community that has a passion for IM, so I don't have anyone to talk to in real life about it.
What we need is a creative, casual environment (we're talking pizza and bean bags), where a small group of people can meet, talk, and work together on a common interest. This could make any subject interesting, and it would greatly enhance the learning process.
Plus we'd be seeing a lot more creative geniuses, and far more people taking action.
The public school system has the potential to make this happen, but they fall short in this area. The learning environment is often bland and counter-productive. Lots of people are crowded together to listen to a long and boring lecture, and then are sent home so they can try to memorize stuff from a textbook, all alone.
IM also lacks in this area. Since most of us live in diverse parts of the world, it's difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to create a learning environment like the one I mentioned before.
Not to mention, it's pretty lonely. My family are mostly supportive of what I try to do, but they don't really understand it. I don't really have anyone nearby to talk with, or work with on IM.
Besides the company, it helps to have someone be there to hold you accountable, encourage you, and help you get to your goals.
I'm reminded of a saying on one of those motivational posters at a grocery store I used to work at: "There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will only accomplish your goals with the help of others."
What say you? Is this a frustration that hits close to home, or have you never had this kind of trouble?
Also, let's brainstorm ideas. What could be done to create this kind of learning and working experience?
Thanks for reading.
