Life-Long Learning

Frank Tyger said, “Learning is either a continuous thing or it is nothing.”  When we feel that we have gained all there is to know about educational endeavors or about simply living life itself, then we truly do have nothing.

Learning is the essence of life that makes life and the pursuit of happiness a “pill” well swallowed. When we take hold of its power, we unleash a force that will penetrate the most formidable barriers and open the pathway to new discovery and opportunities in life. However, it does not come easily. It demands determination, focus, perseverance and perhaps overcoming doubt and fear as well. It simply boils down to personal commitment. 

1) First, you must have a viable reason to get up in the morning.

2) Your mind is like a motor. It must be active to remain useful.  

3) Age is not a factor in learning new things. 

4) “I just don’t have time,” is not an excuse. 

5) You can’t fight change. You need to embrace it. 

6) It is OK to have some fun. 

7) Your legacy matters more than you may think.
