I recently went furniture shopping and got an assemble yourself TV Unit. Now, I haven’t ever assembled any kind of furniture on my own neither has Neerav (My husband). We took a lot of time and hard work to put the entire piece together. But it was fun. A lot of fun. Entire time while we were assembling the unit and even after that we were very happy. We had something to share about with our people, something to remember happily about. All this, just because we assembled a TV Unit? No It’s cause we tried something new.

Often we run away from things that we haven’t tried before. Because they don’t fall into things of ‘I know’ list. Because we are afraid of failing. Because we are afraid of looking like a fool. However, those new things are exactly what we should be trying. For these are the benefits you get out of them:

1. List of things ‘I know’ increases
If our concern for trying something new is that we don’t know how to do it, shouldn’t we still try the same? And try till we succeed to add something to our list of ‘I know’ things. The more new things we do, the more our list increases.

2. Our confidence increases
The more new stuff we try, the more our belief in ourself increases. We no more remain afraid of the new and unknown and know we are ready for anything that life throws at us. We become ‘Can do’ people and our confidence grows tremendously.

3. It is fun.
One of the best reason to try new things and not run away from them is that it is so much fun. Don’t you ever get tired and bored of doing the same things, that is already routine to you? What is the fun of life if we don’t get to try and achieve something new. Trying something new is definitely fun and exciting.
