Recently, as I was reading a book about Nutritional Immunology. It was a thick book but giving simple information about Nutritional Immunology and include the terms. The reason I choose this book because I would like to have a brief idea of what is the Nutritional Immunology to enhance my perspective and general knowledge for the current field I am working at.

And then one of my colleague saw and ask why am I reading "this type of book" and it's "useless". I am so curious and ask her why. She reply me saying that "this book only giving general information, and there are no further elaborate and useless for her". Meaning for her as a Nutritionist, book like this won't assist her anything. But for people like us with minimum knowledge of Nutritional Immunology, it is very useful and at least it gives us a basic perspective to this field.

Hence, I introduce with another book (knowledge with different field from her), thinking this might interest her but she reject me saying "I'm not interested. I am very busy for this." I and again ask her what is she busy about, and she reply "I need to shop online". I was taken back by her words. I mean I'm not despise of her reject the books I offer just because she wants to shop online.

I just couldn't bear why people resist to invest their time and money to learn new things, which can widen their perspective of life, enhance their knowledge to be use in future, and etc. and instead of this, they willing to invest their time in phone game, shop online, and etc. I must admit phone game or shop online definitely can entertain you more than learn new things. However, this won't last long.

With this, I carry myself to make research the top 8 Benefits of learning something new all the time. If only we can achieve one or more of these benefits, how much it means to our life:
