Essentially, if we stop learning, we cease to exist. There’s so many advantages when it comes to learning, no matter how old you are.
Here are 3 reasons we should never stop learning.
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” — Henry Ford.
1. Advancing your career
Take this opportunity to move up in your career ladder. In a world where our jobs are constantly changing due to technological advancements, we have to think ahead. We have to adapt to change.
What’s the best way to do that? Be open to learning. Find ways to improve and grow your skill set. Make yourself irreplaceable to the company. Most importantly, never believe that you’re done learning.
“Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.”
2. Staying humble
No one loves a know-it-all. In fact, the first step to learning is to admit when we’re clueless. We don’t have all the answers and the only way to improve our knowledge is to do more research.
It’s also a reminder to stay grounded because at the end of the day, everyone is just learning at different speeds and we shouldn’t look down on others.
“There is divine beauty in learning. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps.” — elie wiesel
3. Learning is fun
It’s not just about getting the highest scores or advancing at work, learning can actually be fun! Get those brain juices flowing when you’re in a rut or give yourself a much needed boost.
If you’re feeling crafty, attend a flower arrangement workshop. If you want to delve in performing arts, attend acting classes. The options are endless and the best part, it can be fun!
At the end of the day, learning is easily available these days. As long as you have internet connection, you’re good to go. Learning can come in various forms – YouTube videos, TED talks, books and online courses. It’s available in an instant and you don’t need to dedicate a huge chunk of your day to learn. Stay open to learning!
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” — mahatma gandhi
