A Simple Question That Shaped My Life
“What did you learn today?”
My grandfather used to ask me that almost every day when I was little. It wasn’t an exam. It wasn’t pressure. It was simply his way of helping me see that each day brings something new — if we’re open enough to receive it.
“If I had to describe my life in one word, it would be learning.”
🌱 That question stayed with me.
It quietly guided my life — from the day I touched my first computer, to earning tech certifications, to moving countries, to diving deep into yoga, to teaching kids public speaking, to exploring AI and neuroplasticity today.
📚 Learning as a Way of Life
I didn’t realize it back then, but learning wasn’t just something I did — it became who I was. Every time I mastered something new, I wanted to share it. If no one was around, I’d even teach my grandfather how to use DOS commands or navigate Windows.
Learn → Share → Learn More → Share More.
That loop became the heartbeat of my life.
Even now, I can spend hours learning something new — and feel more energized than ever. From computer science to yoga science, from Toastmasters to TEDx, from pranayama to AI — learning gives me momentum.
🗣️ Speaking as a Bridge
When I joined Toastmasters, I wasn’t just trying to become a better speaker.
I was trying to find my voice — so I could share what I was learning with confidence and clarity.
From youth leadership programs to TEDx stages, I found that speaking gave my learning a purpose. It turned silent growth into shared growth.
It’s the reason I created platforms to empower others — because learning is powerful, but shared learning is transformational.
🌟 A Quiet Reminder I Live By
“The only person I strive to be better than is the person I was yesterday.”
No competition. No comparison.
Just a quiet, steady belief that I can grow – through the knowledge I acquire, the challenges I take on, and the learning I embrace.
So I’ll ask you what my grandfather once asked me:
👉 What did you learn today?
And even more importantly…
👉 How will you share it?
Let’s keep learning. Keep growing.
And keep asking each other the simple questions that move mountains.
