Always be learning

Learning isn’t something that you do in finite bites of time, it’s a lifestyle choice. Many people think that they should schedule their learning opportunities. They seek out a specific book about a subject. Or they watch an educational video.

When you schedule your learning, you miss out on most of life’s lessons for you. You can learn as much from watching Modern Family as you can from a Biography of Winston Churchill. You can learn as much from reading Harry Potter as you can from an educational video on Business Intelligence systems. Sure, if you want a specific lesson, the latter choices may be optimal but day-to-day choices are more common.

Experience is the best classroom. The amazing thing about experiences is that they come in so many unique little packages. Watching the interactions of others on TV can be a good proxy of interactions between people generally. Reading a light novel can pass along tidbits of the author’s experience and expertise.

Open yourself up to always be learning. Use every opportunity and every situation.
