I don't know about you, but it seems to me that many people connect learning with something like labor, strain or stress. When I was at school I thought that, too
. But eventually I discovered that learning is quite the contrary: it expands your view of the world, it lets you see connections you were never aware of, it deepens your understanding of things, it provides the base for thinking independently, it can show you new things to enjoy; in short: it is absolute *delight*. Once you come to understand that, all opportunities to learn will make you happy.
Of course you will find some things that make you happier to learn than others. It is a good idea not to limit yourself to one area of knowledge too early. Try to discover as many different fields of knowledge as you can; you'll eventually find one that best suits you.
