Why Was It Hard In The First Place

Learning is one of the most important parts of human life because as humans, we grow, and for us to make our growth meaningful, we have to learn, unlearn, and relearn. Many great people today didn't just become great overnight; there was a particular skill or experience they learned and learned from. Do you want to become great? Then it's time to open your mind to learn something new.

Good morning, everyone, and happy Father's Day to all the amazing fathers of the Hive Learners community. Reading the first week's prompt topic of the Hive Learners community did bring back memories.

I have always loved graphic design, and I wanted to master it but with the brain I had in senior secondary school, it was like everything I read or saw through my eyes ended up going out with every breath I took. Nothing was ready to stick in my brain no matter how hard I read or tried to understand. I wanted to pick up the graphic skill, so I told my dad and he registered me for a class.

Before then, I had started designing using Microsoft Word to make different designs but I wanted to go further. After I went for my class and some tools were introduced to me, the whole world of simple design I had built came crashing down.

I started learning from scratch again and it was difficult for me. The seniors I had back then didn't even make things good. They play a lot since the instructor is mostly not always around. I had to learn almost everything myself from errors and asking questions.

But as time went on, I got better and better, and then I left the place after I got admitted into higher institutions and there was a huge pause in what I was learning.

Currently, I'm still using the idea of skills I learned back then to get most of my work done. The truth is, I'm not a master yet and I would give anything to learn it again. Learning graphic design now is not a hard thing because I already know how to use most of the tools, how to create ideas and how to bring them to life. I did product design as a course and this helped sharpen my mind but I feel I haven't learned the most important things about graphic design.

I have watched videos, and it has helped but I want to learn more until I'm perfect. Other skills came very easily to me except for graphic design. Is it that this skill isn't meant for me to learn or is there something deep I'm yet to discover from this skill? One thing I have learned from life is never giving up, no matter how hopeless the situation may be. I'll keep learning until I become a master in this!

I have come to understand something, no knowledge is a waste no matter how hard it was for you to learn it. One thing we should understand is that, everything we do have a way of shaping our lifes, even people with hard life who later succeeded always have the best stories to tell.

In conclusion, when learning something, its either you learn it to the end and be perfect in it than stopping half way, its better to never have started than stop halfway. Dont give up and keep pushing more
