I love learning new things and often sign up for courses to develop my knowledge. This year my goal is to learn some Italian, develop my writing skills and generally invest in learning.
As a former high school teacher, I’ve always found teaching and learning a fascinating business. From the time I was a small child I asked questions, read everything, listened to adult conversations and wanted to know the why behind everything.
As a writer, research is not just about studying subjects, but being curious and interested in people, places and events then writing your own story, informed by what you’ve learned.
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats
Learning is for a lifetime. I read recently of a man who had his first book published at 96 and went on to write several more. I want to be the sort of person who never stops learning.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life. Eleanor Roosevelt
The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. BB King
To me, learning is an adventure I want to be on forever.
