Don’t know if it was just me or others too, but when I first saw a polaroid camera, I found it pretty impressive.

I knew in theory that it was just a camera of the old era but I wanted to click a photograph that would be in my hand within seconds.

After my 10th board results, I finally got it as my gift.

I was pretty thrilled by it (still am) and was in awe of it.

But as time went by, the camera felt nothing out of the ordinary to me.

Sounds familiar?

The first time you come in contact with something it just blows your mind, but as time passes,  it becomes nothing special.

This happens to all of us with different things, be it a new phone, laptop or what not.

It’s normal for our brain after repeated exposure and experience, which means you can’t get the same thrill out of it as when you first got acquainted with that object.

However, that’s not the case with others who don’t have a first hand experience of the thing.

You have seen that thing multiple times but for them it just ignites the same excitement that it gave you once.

It’s the same case with almost everything, some physical object, an idea or a skill.

One of my friends creates amazing digital art, that just blows my mind, but she literally brushes it off like it’s no big deal.

Since she is doing it for (probably) some time now, it doesn’t surprise her. But to me, the fact that one of the people I know makes something that awesome is fascinating.

This applies to what you know too.

I know that whenever I’m overwhelmed, it’s best to write down whatever is going on in my brain on paper. This allows me to view my thoughts clearly. It allows me to process what’s going on in my own brain.

Once, my best friend was stressed out and I told her the same thing. From her response, it felt like all her stress had vanished just by listening to this idea.

There’s always something you know that you underestimate. Share that with others. It might not surprise you but it might bring them excitement.

Recap for memory:

1. The first time you come in contact with something it just blows your mind, but as time passes, it’s nothing special.
2. That’s not the case with others who don’t have a first hand experience of the thing.
3. Share something you know that you underestimate.

What’s something you have gotten used to but is pretty awesome?
