Continuous Learning

I know that I have posted about this before. With each passing year, it becomes more obvious to me that I don't know as much as I think that I know.

We cannot depend on only what we have learned up to this point in our lives to get us through the next year, next month, or next hour. Continuous learning must be pursued in many forms. First and foremost, we must learn from our daily experiences. Every time we do something different or do the same things differently, we learn.

It is important to be open minded and take the lessons learned each day, record them in some way, and even share them. When I did this, that happened. When I reversed things this happened. That is the simplest form or learning.

A more proactive approach is also necessary. Reading newspapers, listening to audio programs in your car, and selectively viewing educational-valued TV programs are also important forms of learning and growing.
