Don’t Ever Stop Learning!

In this lovely excerpt, Med Serif exhorts us to take full control of our lives by having the eagerness and the desire to learn something new all the way, all through our days!

So let’s call upon Med, to do the talking from here on!

Remember that old notion, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” Well, it’s just not so.

No matter what your age, you can continue to increase your store of knowledge. This is an extremely important ability today because learning does go hand-in-hand with success.

Take a New Look

The first step is to rid yourself of the idea that once you have finished formal schooling, whether at high school or college, your learning is ended except for improving your immediate job skills.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Educators tell us that one of the most desirable times to learn is the period between twenty and forty. But you needn’t stop at the forty mark. If you have the desire to learn and if your learning skills have been kept in reasonably good working order, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to learn well beyond the age of forty.

There are three simple guideposts to learning, according to Med!

1. You must want to learn.

2. You must set goals for yourself.

3. You must use every possible technique of learning.

You Had the Desire to Learn

Remember when you were a youngster. You knew the batting average of every member of your favourite cricket team and those of every other leading star.

It was quite easy for you to remember these names and numbers because you wanted to. This is the important secret for learning. By pinpointing your reasons for wanting to master whatever knowledge you need, you’ve given yourself the desire to forge ahead.

Treasure House at Your Fingertips

Books can be real treasure houses of knowledge for you in your efforts to gain knowledge. Currently, many hardcover and paperback editions are available to the learner.

You might as well say that these are your 'personal consultants.'

How true he proves! ain't he?

For a few dollars, or in some cases dimes, you can put the knowledge of the experts at your fingertips. None but the very largest business organizations can afford to hire all the consultants they need. You can acquire the knowledge of any expert for the simple price of a book.
