The Importance of Lifelong Learning
Work and study today are very different from what they were like 20 years ago. In the past, people often worked in the same job from graduation still retirement. Today, however, everyone needs to learn new things constantly on the job, and it is common practice for people to go back to school from time to time, in order to keep up with the fast changing world. Changing jobs has also become common practice for many people, as they aim to enrich their work experiences, develop new skills and meet new challenges. In today's world of constant innovation, you can't afford to think that you have finished with your studies. If you don't want to fall behind in today's competitive job market, you have to commit yourself to life-long learning. Effective life-long learning is not only a matter of collecting formal qualifications. It's also about forming habits that help you study, and developing attitudes that make you receptive to learning.
