| Do you like learning new things? |
TRANSCRIPT
I absolutely love learning new things! For me, it’s all about growth and discovery. Whether it’s mastering a new skill, picking up a hobby, or exploring a new subject, it keeps life interesting. I love the feeling of progress and the knowledge that there’s always more to uncover. Learning helps me stay curious and open-minded, and it’s a great way to keep challenging myself every day.
| What have you learnt recently? |
TRANSCRIPT
Recently, I’ve been learning to cook. It’s been a lot of fun experimenting in the kitchen and trying out new recipes. I used to think cooking was just about following instructions, but now I’m realizing how much creativity is involved. I’ve learned a lot about different ingredients and techniques, and it’s been a rewarding experience to prepare meals that I’m proud of. Plus, it’s a skill I get to use every day!
| What do you like most about the process of learning? |
TRANSCRIPT
What I enjoy most about learning is the challenge and the sense of accomplishment that comes with it. I like when I have to struggle a bit at first, and then something clicks, and I finally understand it. It’s those ‘aha’ moments that make the whole process worth it. Plus, learning helps me stay mentally sharp, and I appreciate how it encourages me to keep pushing my limits, no matter what the subject or skill is.
