After giving a talk on AI trends, the author was approached by a university student eager to learn AI. The student shared his efforts in online courses and projects, demonstrating genuine enthusiasm for learning, which prompted the author to reflect on his own learning journey. He recalled the joy of exploring and failing freely as a child, contrasting it with the goal-oriented, linear learning he experienced in adulthood. The author emphasized the importance of embracing learning as an experiential journey rather than a means to an end, encouraging the student to keep creating and experimenting for the sake of curiosity, not just for potential success or monetization. This encounter served as a reminder for the author to reconnect with the playful, instinctive nature of learning he once had.
