Learning new topics and skills will help you level up your career.
Do it for the culture!
I'm a huge fan of swyx and what his revolutionary #LearnInPublic mantra has done in making it acceptable to learn new things in the public space. As he so eloquently puts it:
Try your best to be right, but don't worry when you're wrong.
I take the above to mean "it's ok to mess up...learn from it". Doing it for the culture is learning and returning the knowledge gained to the extended creative community.
Just like in Vegas 🎲 🎰
You will be wrong (betting) more times than you will be right (winning) in Las Vegas casinos. Unlike Vegas odds, when it comes to learning the "wrongs" in public helps you synthesize your knowledge.
Learning => Knowing => Teaching
When you learn something new, try to use or apply it to your career or in life. After gaining a better understanding, teach what you have learned to someone else. You will be giving back while also gaining.
