"ONCE YOU STOP LEARNING, YOU START DYING" : Subtle yet such a powerful sentence if you start shedding more light to what it means.

I moved to a new country and started looking for jobs 2 months back. Down the lane, I just realized that there is so much that I still have to learn given the plethora of knowledge out there. It's overwhelming at times to be honest:-)

However, I always try to remember what one of my mentor told me awhile back. Quote "Its highly impossible to know everything .Yet , you can try to prioritize and learn what you want if you have the DISCIPLINCE and be DILIGENT in your effort to upskill in the RIGHT way".

So I have made sincere effort towards learning each and every day no matter how small the amount of knowledge I gain out of it.

Lessons we often forget in upskilling:-
* Just watching and reading new things wouldn't help you. Put them to practical use by working on small projects.
* Showcase your new knowledge through projects in your GitHub and build your portfolio.
* Its okay to not know, but its not okay to stop trying to learn it.

Hope this helps someone of there and make them realize that you can not sustain with what you have when it comes to knowledge.

Upskilling and constant learning in the right direction is the key . Don't just upskill but do it the right way.

So happy to have met amazing colleagues in my career who always made me realize the importance of upskilling.
