I have always been in support of self-learning,but it was not an easy task to devolop that habit of learning things myself.Through this post I will like to share how I taught myself coding,digital marketing , public speaking and many more.

Things took a sudden turn when I joined for engineering,I found that my grades weree going down when I'm just relying on my professors only and also figured out the impact self learning can bring to my life. Soon I started preparing the subjects myself and I found different methods to make my studies most effective,but fate had other plans for me,soon I discovered that engineering is not my strong area,so I changed my concentration onto other things.

I had a friend who had similar interests like me,so we planned to start a YouTube channel and for that purpose we had to learn many things starting from movie making to editing and promoting.My friend started to learn film making and I started with premiere pro and After effects ( both are video editing softwares)and we had a successful run. Later I found that making good videos isn't just enough,it should also be promoted,the next task which I took upon was learning digital marketing,I found numerousonline courses and took some of them and also read many books related to marketing and public relations.

All these activities were building an unknown of habit of self-learning in me and the changes happened to me was amazing.Later I realized that almost everything can be learned ourselves and in born talents doesn't matter much,so I went into my life and tried to find my weak points. Public speaking was one of them and I thought,how can someone learn to speak Infront of public from books and courses,but it was possible,certain tips which I got while learning public speaking helped me a lot to become better.N ow I don't feel the social anxiety anymore and I am looking for other areas to work on.

Schools and colleges won't teach everything that we need in our life,they works on a particular system and syllabus.To become successful it is necessary to learn somethings ourselves.
