Are we there yet? Not yet~~

My little angel likes this popular rhyme on CoCoMelon channel of youtube, while the second angel

feeds her. Over the time, I started loving this too. Perhaps, I find it soothing  and fetch some psychological comfort or perhaps it might have soothing effect on anyone.  The rhyme describes how kids got bored of long drive to picnic and how their parents engage them in fun.

Here is the rhyme:

Kids: Are we there yet? Parents: Not yet.
Kids: Are we there yet? Parents: Not yet.

Parents: Let’s play a game, Look at where we are
Won’t you look with me, And tell me what you see
Driving in the car

Parents: What do you see? Kids: A deer....

Parents: What do you see? Kids: A lake....
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A rainbow...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A cactus...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A tumbleweed...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: Rocks...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A train...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A windmill...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A cow...
Parents: What do you see? Kids: A tractor...

Everybody:It’s so much fun, To drive so far
Let’s look outside, And enjoy the pretty ride
Driving in the car

As it radiates through our house, I feel as if this is meant for scientists or (may be for artists too or may be for everyone) who are often professionally dissatisfied with their present understanding, efforts and achievements. Everyday starts with the same intellectual dissatisfaction about what we are able to realize and an urge to know the logic or lack thereof in nature. What immediately follows is a positive vibe of how I should deal with my everyday's anxiety.  What I miserably fail to do is to enjoy the ride itself and rather hope impatiently for some elusive destination. For scientists, a piece of new information is a source of joy, which is often difficult to unearth ourselves from our own science. However, we focus too much on the discovering the truth ourselves, despite realizing that the truth  takes its own sweet time to unravel itself to us. What instead we should do, and supposedly many of us are already doing this, is to teach ourselves the new truths discovered by others: the literature reading. We often fail to read literature everyday and even if we read, we are not guaranteed to learn something interesting and appealing.  Good news is that one interesting information serve as food for thought for several days and seems perfect replacement to our anxiety . What we should make sure is that we feed our mind new, interesting and important information as regular as possible. It has worked for me at least.
