well, sharing is caring. Sharing knowledge is the most amazing thing in the world. It is always good to exchange important lessons with near and dear ones.  We learn many things from our parents, siblings, cousins, and pedagogical experts. Whatever I know well and have expertise in, I love to teach my close ones.

Recently, I shared my skill with my bosom friend which led to a paradigm shift in his life.

I taught him to cook food. A couple of years ago, I was totally free as the administration imposed a stringent lockdown in my nation due to corona pandemic during that time, one of my friends, who is also my neighbor approached me to learn cooking.

Since I had a lot of free time, I used it prudently by teaching the skill of cooking to him. My training lasted for one month. During that time, I focused on Indian, Chinese, and Italian food. Initially, my friend found it challenging but I told him to practice with determination, dedication, and discipline.

My training worked like a miracle, he became an excellent cook who could make mouth-watering delicacies with tremendous ease in one month.

The experience was good because that helped me to gain confidence in teaching, after imparting the training, I started posting my cooking videos on youtube and my channel has grown by leaps and bounds. Moreover, my training has helped my friend to enjoy home-cooked meals.

Follow-ups

2.   Why do older people have problems learning new things?

That’s why nowadays schools and institutions are teaching students with the help of projectors, and smart TVs. Moreover, some concepts can be misunderstood by telling.
