Up until about 20 years ago I always put sugar in my coffee. Then, one day I noticed my manager grimacing, and asked why he was looking so disgusted. Apparently he had mistakenly had a sip of a coffee with sugar and he was not happy about it: \u00ab You can\u2019t even taste the coffee with all that sweetness! \u00bb he complained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrigued by his tirade, I decided to try my coffee without sugar. On day one I thought it was simply awful. On the second day I detected some new tastes that had previously been masked by the sugar. After a few days I realized that I was actually finally able to appreciate the coffee on its own merits. I\u2019ve not looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I finally did the same thing with tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what applies to coffee and tea also applies to other things. Learning for instance. The first attempt at learning something new is often discouraging, and you are tempted to give up. The second time around it seems more attractive – but it\u2019s still an effort. Only once you\u2019ve given something a few tries do the benefits become truly clear, and then a new habit can start to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
