Lifelong learning 2

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." Chinese Proverb

Lifelong learning 2

----------------------

The school of hard knocks:

Life long learning does not mean just learning in a institution.
There are people who graduated to a master or doctorate degree.
They may be smart enough having learned their way through ideas gleamed from university and slowly become experts in their fields.

They are also those who learned through a no books learning environment but through
knowledge from experience in their jobs.
They are able to adapt themselves to the process of learning in real life situations.
They innovate. They invent. They modify their skills through self study.

People like Steve Jobs and Richard Branson succeed through learning from failure.
Steve Jobs said in his own creative ways "Why join the navy when you can be a pirate?". You do not have to be in main stream of education in order to succeed as a entrepreneur.

Life long learners do not need an institution or school to be able to learn.
In the world of people who are willing to learn from their work place and colleagues:

"We are all learners; thus life is a community of learners, including workers, staff and administrators.
We are all lifelong learners; everyone should teach each other the process for lifelong learning by teaching them how to learn.
We are all coaches; thus we learn from each other and help others learn.
We are all colleagues and collaborators."

This is our motto in the world of the school of hard knocks.

"Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.
The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul."

Lifelong learning

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
Chinese Proverb

How does education promote success?

In Keys to Success: How to Achieve your Goals, by Carter, Bishop and Kravits, the authors write:

Education is more than the process of going to school and earning a degree or certificate.
It is a choice to improve your mind and your skills.
Education is what you make of it.
If you make the most of your mind, your time, and your educational opportunities, you will realize your potential.


Education gives you tools for lifelong learning.

1.You not only learn facts while studying, but also how to think -- an ability that will always be useful.
Education improves your quality of life.

2.The Digest of Education Statistics 1996 reports that income levels rise as educational levels rise.
Education expands your self-concept.

3.As your abilities grow, so do opportunities to learn. As you rise to the challenges of education, you will discover that your capacity for knowledge and personal growth is greater than you imagined.
Education enlarges your possibilities.

4.First, through different courses of study, it introduces you to more choices of career and life goals. Second, through the training you receive, it gives you more power to achieve the goals you choose.
Education improves your employability and earning potential.

5.Many studies have shown that education increases not only a person's employability and earning potential but also their self-esteem.
Education makes you a well-rounded person.

6.As it widens your understanding about what is possible in the world, education increases your awareness and appreciation of areas that affect and enrich human lives.
Education affects both community involvement and personal health.

7.Education helps to
1) prepare individuals for community activism by helping them understand political, economic and social conditions, and
2) increase knowledge about health behaviors and preventive care.
