learn~unlearn~relearn: mantra of life???!!!???

is life all about learning???
n woteva we learn we practice/follow...n at one point of time dont we get vexed/ pissed/ bored/t ired/ discouraged of that thing (some kinda fatigue), dont we? 
then wot we do? we'll either leave or forget it? means unlearn???? 
again something happens; n we are either forced/choose to learn the same thing in a different or updated or sophisticated way ?
is life all about "learn~unlearn~relearn" thing???
nothing much/ beyond it?
wot can we do to make it interesting?
lately, i realized to avoid such fatigues i can/ have to change my hobbies n habits.
i always hated to read books. i neva bought a book on my own till date except for the text n note books(subject related). things weren't quite kool on my side of late. i'm completely shaken by the ppl's weird n very rude behaviors. i'm now not gutsy enuf even to open my mouth to ask for a help/ take a suggestion. even best of the friends looked like true n too strangers.
but i'm desperately n definitely in need of a diversion from emotions n feelings, motivation in and for life n its survival, work to keep myself engaged progressively, and definitely not for a shoulder to put my head n shed tears. i'm not looking for material like friend but for friend like material. 
i was only wondering wot can help in accomplishing / reaching the above mentioned needs? clueless on wer to go yet roaming on the roads walking. i walked miles in search of a friend. i neva knew that friends are sold in stores for such less prices until i came across this bookstore 'crossword', today evening and i'm so glad- i had a real gudevening.
i had 300 bucks to fight a week ahead n to buy some book to reach my needs i ought to buy 1. i was thinking whether to buy 1 or not. i reviewed my needs n realized atleast for the 2nd half of the 2nd need (out of the above mentioned ones) i have to buy 1. 
i suddenly felt like reading becoz last month i read this book 'david copperfield' for the sake of my student n i read it in 2hrs with a forced half an hr brk. it made me feel so glad. in the begining it was so difficult, but the story intrested me n motivated me to read it til the end without a brk. that pleasant feeling remained n made me to feel like reading another book. 
wen i saw the book store i felt that i shd buy a book n that is wot i'm in immeadiate need. i searched for a book, i found 1 static n the other interactive type. i was in a grt confusion on wot to buy. i again had to prioritize n decide. finally i bot 1 book n am happy now. 
i'm happy that i'm not talking to many ppl, not even the very close 1s- yet i'm feeling greatly relieved.
initially i was hated books, now i've learnt that books are true friends....n may be in future i'll get into too much of book reading or again restart hating to read books...anything can happen. but i surely know 1 thing ....it all depends on the book i select--the friend i select (just like reality eh?). but tell me, until i read the book how can i know whether i'm gonna like/ hate it (just like making friends n then gelling n then,.....eh?).
life is all about "learn~unlearn~relearn"...whether it's interesting or boring. it is a continuous process.

santhi, although i am glad that you have finally realised the importance of books, i am sad that you are feeling lonely and seeking refuge in books. I need not remind you that I am there for you always, and it pains me that you choose to keep quiet and re-iterate that everyone is strange to you nowadays..

I may be busy.. I may not be in touch.. but my mailbox is always open for you. I would love to talk to you and hear you open your heart, rather than read it falling apart on your blog.

so btw, what was the book you bought?

there is also the phase of over learning - we learn, we never forget .. but we do not realise its importance unless and until fate makes us learn it again and again and again...

are life and philosophy all that different?

ro i bought rashmi bansal's 'connect the dots'...the inspiring stories of 20 entrepreneurs without an MBA who dared to find their own path.

i'm enjoying it so much.

dont u think life n phil are diff?

seems like an interesting book.. and it is definetly something you would reach for.

and you have conveniently avoided answering my real question.

coming to life and philosophy.. are they really that different? can one survive without the other? what use is philosophy alone without the beauty of life... and can one go a single day through life without the support of philosophy.. I am just saying they walk hand in hand and one is not necessarily the cause of the other. . we find solace in philosophy when life takes us on a roller coaster ride.. and philosophy is in itself understanding the essence of life..

atleast thats what i think

YES I THINK PHIL N LIFE ARE DIFF. some ppl have phil in life some even have no clue wot it is/ abt it's existence. yes they walk hand in hand wen phil is der..and life is meaningful n inspires others if both r present. but if phil is absent life is no diff from the robots.

"we find solace in philosophy when life takes us on a roller coaster ride" excellent ro.

am glad you started reading books. theres no such thing like a bad book! every book has something to offer....and by saying that your best friends look strangers...yes i agree with you. sometimes, we are ditched by our closest ones and we have no way to go....but remember lil angel...your family never leaves you. no matter what, we are there...
