“Why are we learning this?” I heard a friend of mine say, “It isn’t really important, is it?”
I smirked. To me, who was in the same class as this friend, what we were learning was actually very vital information that I could use when working on my goals.
We were learning about surveys and responses in Math class: how to make surveys, the pros and cons of both surveys and interviews and so on. Too many of my classmates, who thought that this had nothing to do with Maths, thought it was a waste of time. But I, on the other hand, was excited to learn more about it because it could be a useful asset which I can use to get me nearer to my goals. Data analysis, interviews, asking the right questions, types of information – these were things that would come in useful when I’m working with the Ascendance team. For example, it’ll be pretty helpful to know what the right questions are to ask when interviewing someone or well, something like that.
I found it pretty cool how I was in the class at the right place and time to learn about this; I thanked Nature for giving me this tool which I could apply when working on my goals. That’s one of the phenomenal things about the way Nature works, it gets you the things you need to learn and shows you what you need to know. You might not always see the importance of what you learn when you’re sitting in a classroom reading it from a textbook, but when you can apply it in real life and figure out how it works, it would make so much sense in action. You won’t necessarily see the connection right away, but eventually some of the things that you learn as unrelated as it may seem, might be a major gift from Nature. You just have to follow your Heart, it’s the compass that tells you what you need to do, even if it doesn’t make much sense now.
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
That’s a quote from Steve Jobs when he made a speech at Stanford, it was a real beautiful speech and you guys should probably go and check it out on YouTube or something.
He said that when talking about how he took a calligraphy class in college and how that ended up helping him design a part of his inventions, many years later. You might not be able to see why you are learning something right now, but as long as it’s aligned with your Heart, you’ll be able to see why it was important later when you apply it in life.
Like the other day when my teammate, Matura was teaching me how to edit videos, my mind went back to around the same time last year where I was learning how to use video and music editing softwares in my Music class in school. At that time, even though I was super hyped up and excited about the assignment, it never crossed my mind that a year later what I was learning was really gonna help me out with my goals.
So remember, if Nature and your Heart put you in an environment to learn something, even if it doesn’t make sense how it can be used right away, there is always a reason behind why you’ve got to do it. Nature already prepares the tools that you need, it hands them to you in the most unsuspecting ways, you just need to be able to use them when the time comes!
– Harsha
I wholesomely agree with Harsha in this one. I’m pretty sure everyone has that particular classmate who always nags about how what we are studying now is irrelevant to the future when in reality, those are what going to make you become successful.
We should like every subject and we should learn from the subject.
This article really hit me so much as I can really connect myself with. As someone who had undergo a lot of hardship in unexpected time, now I reflect back to those gossiping, bullying and such, it makes me stronger now and see things in a new aspect. I’m wide awake. And I really like the quote “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”, very relatable.
Learning can feel irrelevant at times, but every lesson may serve a purpose later in life. Trust that what you’re learning today will connect with your goals when the time comes.
Sometimes it’s hard to see why we’re learning certain things, but everything we learn could help us later on. Even if it doesn’t make sense now, Nature has a way of giving us the right tools exactly when we need them. By trusting that what we’re learning has a purpose, we’ll eventually see how it connects to our goals. It’s like the universe is guiding us, even when we don’t realize it. Just follow your heart, and know that everything you’re learning now will be useful in ways you can’t yet imagine.
I think it’s not that we can’t use what we learn, but that the time hasn’t come yet or we don’t know how to use it.So，we just learn.
I agree with Harsha nature is a beautiful thing and we should thank it and learning new things can teach us some morals even if you can’t connect the dots or find out how it is you still have to connect it if not look forward of backwards until you find it even though it’s hard you still have to do it.
Hi Harsha,i agree with your opinion and for your information i’m not very good to comment in English but i try hehe. i wont to be a good person and a good daughter for my dad and my mum and my younger brother because my family is the best in the world. and my vision is what ever become i have to learn and think a long for my future. i hope i can do the best for my life inshaa Allah.
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you. I agree with Harsha in this one. Not only in the classroom, in everyday life, we indirectly use the tools provided by nature without realizing it.those who say that it is not really important, the fact is, they have used it, indirectly leading to their success.
I agree..need to keep trying to succeed
The article is about how much Nature is very important in our daily life.Every day learning exciting new things and encouraging us to reach our goals.Nature give you the tools , so we just need to use it in the right time, right place and we will success .
For the all , i was agree with Harsha because i need to learn more to get the goal. i always ask to my teacher or friend that to i can’t. But sometimes what i learn i not understand but i will try my best for my future.
I readily agree with Harsha. The same situation is happening to me currently , me and my class we are learning something which doesn’t seem to benefit them in the short run but honestly the topics which we study may be or may seem a lot irrelevant or even are irrelevant but with the present subject, who knows how important it would be for us in the future someday.
In my opinion, nature is the process of living life. Something we learn now may feel useless and a waste of time, but it may be very useful in the future. I totally agree with Harsha’s article.
Hi Harsha, i think nature can provide us the motivation!. For example i cant remember how to do something that i want but i can remember the last thing i did to connect me with the thing i forget. I strongly can say that nature will give me a success one day! Nature is giving us the tool we need.
hi Harsha.. “put your heart in an environment to learn something”. i was very touched. I will learn to be a better person, ignore negative words and hope i will do well in my studies,
In my apnion this article is about how students continue to lean on and never give up and never give up and never feel inferior because we can’t answer questions or assignment .I want to thank you very much to Harsha
Learning can feel irrelevant at times, but every lesson may serve a purpose later in life. We have to trust of the subject And everything the teacher taught us is correct, we need to study harder to make our parents happy.
Learning is hard but when we study hard we will understand and not imitate. We have to trust of the subject And everything the teacher taught us is correct, we need to study harder to make our parents happy.
I understand what Harsha said, we need to be more diligent to study and actually the story is the same with our class even though our class likes to fight, noisy but our class knows the meaning “love your class” and the lesson I got in this text is that we need to study hard, do our best
The article is interesting and gives me a new way of thinking.
In my opinion, what we learn everyday is actually a very important information that we can use in the future. Like if we do not know that one subject, but we want to try it. We need to keep learning and practicing until it finally paid off.
Starting from today, i will always learn whole-heartedly to make sure i am prepared for the future.
from Harsha’s explanation,we can find out what nature of plants is,Little Obstacles and having a goal repeated.lets like nature love obstacles and like to put the ball in the goal.
What we learn this moment sometimes is not used now but for the future.
For me, this nature somehow used in every subjects or lessons in life too.
I agree with Harsha on her surveys and responses will get informations. That is how learning should be. Ask questions always!
In my opinion,this outstreach program is good for students who want to know more,want to be more fluent in English ,this program can fill free time and give good benefirs.
I was agree with Harsha..It is a learning process. As a student , we should do the best to achieve our goal. Everyone have their own journey of life and experiences. Let’s we enjoy the journey and sometimes we learn from others.
Maybe while you’re learning something, you think you won’t ever use it in your life, and therefore there’s no point in learning it, but I think otherwise. Learning is essential in all of our lives. You learn to love the things you loathe once you find beauty in it, so find learning enjoyable and gain more knowledge.
I agree with Harsha.i’m not good to English but i try.we need to know and take notice. sometimes what we learn is not useful for now but will be useful in the future.it is good to increase knowledge.learn and keep learning..
The article is about how important nature is in our lives . Nature also gives us tools ,so we just need to use them at the right time , the right place . Every day learn new interesting things and we will succeed.
To me, who was in the same class as this friend, what we were learning was actually very vital information that I could use when working on my goals.
Yes Harsha. I agree with you. Learn new things is does not only to gain more knowledge but it also give us a new experience which it will brings benefits to you either now or future. Just enjoy the moments and you will get something good at the end
We were learning about how to create surveys and the pros and cons of surveys versus interviews.
Many classmates thought it was a waste of time, but I found it exciting and relevant to my goals.
Skills like data analysis and asking the right questions would help me with the Ascendance team.
I felt grateful to be learning this at the right time; Nature often provides what we need when we least expect it.
It’s easy to overlook the importance of lessons in the moment, but they can become vital later.
Following your heart can guide you to understand why certain knowledge matters down the line.
I completely agree with Harsha. I’m experiencing a similar situation in my class right now. We’re learning topics that may not seem immediately beneficial, and some might even appear irrelevant. However, I believe that the subjects we’re studying could prove to be significant for us in the future.
As the saying goes, “Live and learn.” Why not seize and cherish the opportunity to learn? What’s more, not everyone has the ability to learn, or even possess knowledge. Learning will bring us endless benefits and make us live a more fulfilling and comfortable life.
The paragraph emphasizes the importance of seemingly unrelated lessons and how they can contribute to future goals. It highlights that learning is often about trusting the process, as skills and knowledge may reveal their value over time. Following one’s passion and recognizing the guidance of nature can lead to meaningful applications in life.
This article beautifully highlights the importance of trusting the process of learning, even when the relevance isn’t immediately clear. Harsha’s perspective reminds us that skills we acquire today often serve a purpose later in unexpected ways. By following our passions and embracing what life presents, we eventually connect the dots, just as Steve Jobs did. It’s a powerful reminder to stay curious and open-minded, knowing that every lesson has its place in shaping our future
I agree with this article. Sometimes, while we are learning something it may seem useless for us, but it may benefit us in the future or benefit the people around us in the future.
I also agree with Harsha, we were also learning nonsense things that feel useless, but when we try to study what its function when we grow up to achieve our dreams, it will be a part of it. Even if you feel not, remember our son’s homework. Maybe it’s math or any other more subject, we might need to count the numbers. Nature gives you the tool you needs.
Learning can feel boring at times, but it often leads to surprising benefits down the road. The knowledge and skills we gain, even if they seem useless at first, can pop up when we least expect them and help us in real-life situations. Plus, finding ways to make learning fun—like through games, projects, or discussions—can make the process a lot more enjoyable!
This is such a great reminder about the importance of learning! It’s amazing how skills we pick up now, even if they don’t seem relevant, can become essential later on. Loved the Steve Jobs reference too!
Agreed with Harsha, I’m willing to learn about everything in my life not just in school but also in my daily life. I always listen to my heart and challenge myself to learn something new.
I was agree with this article because nature is very important in our life. What we learn everyday is actually that we can use in the future. We need to learn more to get the goals. My Father always taught me something when doing some activities even if wasn’t my interest. He said I’m sure I’ll need it one day.
From my opinion we have to learn from every aspect especially on what we read and hear . We also have to work hard if we want to achieve something. We can be a good student if we foucs in the class and be a good student. We have to respect the elders. I always love with my natures, those who around me.
In “Nature Gives You The Tools You Need,” Harsha Ravindran shares an insightful message about learning’s hidden value. I learned that every lesson, even if seemingly irrelevant, can serve a purpose later in life. Harsha’s perspective emphasizes trusting the learning process and viewing each experience as a tool provided by Nature. Her example of math lessons becoming useful for her goals with the Ascendance team resonates with me. It reinforces the idea that staying open to learning and trusting the journey can lead us to opportunities we may not yet recognize.
