There is an old joke about how to eat an elephant. The response is “one bite at a time.” Analogously, for those facing a large project or challenge, getting the job done entails taking just one step at a time. As you face challenges or projects that may require learning, you have the desire to complete the project and achieve the results. It is this motivation that forms basis for the desire to learn.
It is essential to have at least some desire to learn. You could learn to read music, yet without the desire to play an instrument or sing, you probably will not retain what you have learned nor put it to use. If you want to be a reliability engineer, then you have the desire and it is time to start that journey.
Form Your Future Vision
What is your end goal? What do you want to accomplish?
Visualize the perfect day at some point in the future. See, feel, hear, and smell the results. Understanding the result helps you in several ways.
First, it helps you recognize the value or importance of achieving your goal, in this case obtaining reliability engineering knowledge.
Second, it helps you to see past the barriers and obstacles. With the beneficial results in mind, the path to overcome the obstacles may be easier to find. With the goal in mind, you will be able to identify opportunities that lead toward your goal, while remaining focused in the pursuit of your goal.
Third, it helps you to articulate what you want to learn and why. Those you tell may join you on the journey.
Next Week: Get it from yourself
Stop and think about all the classes, books, webinars, etc. that you’ve experienced. You know quite a bit of stuff, so learning to tap that knowledge and keep it fresh is in the next lesson.
In the meantime, consider what you would like to learn. What do you want to master?
What would your life be like when you are the recognized expert in your field? Make that picture clear, make it compelling. Then let’s go about making it happen.
