"The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." - Marcel
Proust
"I don't think much of a man
who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." - Abraham Lincoln
"I have never let my schooling
interfere with my education." - Mark Twain
Assuming the public school system
hasn't crushed your soul, learning is a great activity.
It expands your viewpoint. It gives
you new knowledge you can use to improve your life. Even if you discount the
worldly benefits, the act of learning can be a source of enjoyment.
But in a busy world, it can often be
hard to fit in time to learn anything that isn't essential. The only things
learned are those that need to be. Everything beyond that is considered
frivolous. Even those who do appreciate the practice of lifelong learning can
find it difficult to make the effort.
Here are some tips for installing
the habit of lifelong learning:
(1) Always have a Book
It doesn't matter if it takes you a
year or a week to read a book. Always strive to have a book that you are
reading through, and take it with you so you can read it when you have time.
Just by shaving off a few minutes in-between activities in my day I can read
about a book per week. That's at least fifty each year.
