Great thoughts Ali. Learning is as vital a process as eating. If we stop learning we stop living. If our goal in life is to become self-actualized then it’s beneficial to keep learning about ourselves and the world around us. Learning is also a wonderful source of essential nutrients for the mind and soul. It feels good and it makes us more attractive on top of it all.

Great post, Ali.

I have been blessed to be curious about life since I was a child and retain a childlike enthusiasm to learn.

Have you ever watched a young child crouch down and stare into a garden border, for example? That is how I like to be. I don’t think you necessarily need to travel to learn, or even to go to college, just have that curiousity for life where you are. Having a childlike interest will keep you young.

Henry Ford said: “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” Many of the greatest figures in history were self-taught: Winston Churchill certainly was.

I had a discussion on this very subject on another site recently and we came to the conclusion you start learning with your first breath and stop with your last.

Indeed, the older I get, the easier I learn. And I realise how little I know.

What a wonderful post. I took my daughter out of school for a while in order to homeschool her. I was able to help her to understand what it really means to learn. It’s so much more than books and tests. She learned math in grocery stores and history on road trips. It was marvelous. She has a new found appreciation for knowledge. Learning can and should be fun. Thanks for reminding us.

I think Gandhiji said it best, “Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

I’m sorry, I made a mistake in the statement I wanted to quote in my earlier comment. It should be this:

“In Western society, we often think of “learning” in very narrow terms: it’s what we do in school, and once we’ve got our college degree, the learning phase is over – it’s time to work.”

So sorry about it.

Cheers~
