Is everything a learning opportunity perhaps not!!!

The reason this topic comes up is the feeling of most people that given any activity/task/problem treat it as a learning opportunity!!! Well does everything in life really give you some benefit isn't that being too self driven..... Not to say be a saint and “Karm Karo Phal ka iccha math karo”.

Well, I can argue about it in both ways but I somehow tend to argue the other way "Finish it off and if you get something on the way take it...”

This I guess would help me, I do not get let down if there is nothing in it for me... well I would just feel well someone wanted it and I did it an I move on...

If there is a learning coming out, OK that’s good one or a bad one and I carry something from it...

The most important thing is that how do I know that there is a learning coming out of this one or not.... am I an astrologer??? This is again subjective, if you find a lot of things at the start of something then naturally things fade out and there is a time when you only apply learning. Then there are thing where you feel everything done is what I know and suddenly at the end there is a big rock which has in bold written "this is not the way out" here you go!!!! You learn at the end...

Frankly till now I have not been able to determine whether I will learn from something/anything or will it just be yet another get thru thing. Yes, I also am not able to determine "What is in it for me?", I only know that I need to go at that one and then onwards see if I am sailing, rocking or sinking!!! ."What is in it for me?” this normally tends to take away the focus from the fact that there is something that needs a "FULL STOP" immediately and then there may be another "COMMA" added in my learning if possible.

At the end of the day “Karm toh Karna hi hai”…. :) Well that only a thought, the other side of the coin is always welcome.....
