Life Lesson 134: You are never too old to learn

Good Afternoon Readers,

Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shining outside and it looks like it might be another beach day for me. In any event,  I am so thankful that the semester is over. I successfully passed my comprehensive examination for my doctoral program and now I am writing the first three chapters of my dissertation. The end of the program is coming fast but I am working one day at a time so that I can enjoy graduation when it comes. Today, I wanted to talk about learning. Too often, people think that they are too old to learn. Well, today, I plan to explain the reasons why we never stop learning in this life.

Let's begin:

Every day that you are alive, you learn something new. You learn more about yourself and others around you. You constantly surround yourself with people who's lives are always changing. Life is an ongoing learning process and when you cease to learn, you will cease to live.

As you learn, you are enhancing the amount of information that your brain can hold. Many people believe that we are using our maximum capacity in our brains but in reality, we are only using a fraction of our brains. As we learn, we are increasing our brain power and our brains are stretching in order to hold new information.

As you learn, you are able to see that you are able to reach your dreams if you want to. If you have a dream to go to college, you can begin to realize that dream by filling out the application. If you have a dream to ride a bike, you can practice riding a bike or watching someone else ride a bike. Whatever your dream is, it all begins with the first step that you make towards making your dream come true.

As you learn, you will be able to share your learning with other people. For Example: As you learn more about health, you will be able to help others to improve their health over time. As you learn more about writing a paper, you can help others to get the necessary tools that they need in order to write a paper. The more you learn, the more you can share with others.


      You are never too old to learn. No matter what happens, learning occurs at every stage of life.
