Learning never cease.

LEARNING TO LEARN.

A wise man is not the man who thinks and act all by himself, who does things independently and never considers the input, nor counsel of others; a wise man is a man who in spite of his knowledge, and understanding of issues, he listens, and weighs the counsel of knowledgeable men like himself. He seeks to know more and remains teachable.

As we grow through life, we most of the times discover that we have either learnt some things the wrong way, or learnt the wrong things or both. It then behoves us to unlearn, and relearn most of the wrongs we have learnt, known and held dear. We at this point become intentional about what we learn, considering what benefits the knowledge would bring us. Learning is a lifelong activity and practice, as long as we breathe, learning has to keep happening, the moment we stop learning, even if we yet breathe, we become a walking dead.

No matter how much you know, irrespective of your level of understanding, you must keep on learning. Steve Jobs once said "learn continually - there is always 'one more thing' to learn". In fact, the more you know, the more you need to know, because there is nothing more terrifying than partial knowledge. It is better not to know a thing, than to know it partially or wrongly.

It might be difficult to continue learning after you have known so much, and gone through some very rigorous processes to know and understand some phenomenon, but that is the hallmark and the evidence of true growth and real wisdom. Never stop learning, learn to keep learning, and when learning seems tough, learn to learn in the tough situations.

Make this year a year of constant and consistent learning.
