Lifelong learning is now becoming a must for everyone in the modern world. Many people, however,
find it overwhelming, as being lifelong learners means they will have to keep studying for their entire life.
The following are several strategies to promote lifelong learning.
First, start with a clear purpose. Study something that you will likely have many uses in the future.
Design learning goals that should serve you in your career path, as well as in your personal interests. You
will need to think of the learning experience as continuous investment rather than a one-off endeavor.
Second, choose something that is really enjoyable for you. You will need to have fun all through the
pursuit of knowledge and skills, which will be an endless journey. The ‘fun' part will always keep you
motivated, even during the hard times.
Third, lifelong learning is not just about keeping on studying; you will need to think through what you
have learned, and find out how to apply it in your work and personal life. Don't read too much and use your
brain too little. Think more often; meditate on the ideas that you feel might make your work and/or life
better.
