Continuous learning is a key aspect of our personal development especially in the current computer age where there is an ever-changing technology. Continuous learning is the urge to acquire knowledge and skills in preparation for your future opportunities.
I have always aspired to pursue more learning to gain a deeper understanding of say a given subject or gain more skills in my profession. I believe for us to better keep up with the latest trends in our various industries, we need to keep on learning.
Education shouldn’t be a one life event whereby once you have completed and gained a certification, you stop but it should be considered as a lifelong process of personal growth.
I get inspired by great minds the likes of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates who in spite of their great success in life, they still pursue more knowledge. They view learning as the best investment of our time.
Some of the reasons I continue to learn, and will even do it more in future are:
When you are open-minded, and curious it is easier for you to seek new knowledge or take in different opinion say on a given subject.

How else do you learn, unless you grow?! Agree 100 percent!
Thanks Beth for reading.
Podcasts are a great way to learn and there are so many different ones available now no matter what you're studying or researching...such a great tool. These are excellent tips!
Thanks Catherine!
I never understood why some people just stop learning after they've secured a degree, a job, or even because they've gotten older. Most universities offer classes to the community at dirt cheap prices. Even libraries offer courses for free. There are just too many opportunities out there at our disposal to help us increase our knowledge base.
Sometimes it is how society has shaped people's minds that you go to school to get educated, get a job then that is it. I think everyone should know that learning is a continuous process that occur throughout a person life.
I totally agree with you! After I finished graduate school, I would always tell my husband that I felt like my brain was shrinking from the lack of learning. I then realized, I didn't need to be in a classroom to learn! I try to read up on several different topics and I try to be around people who stimulate my mind with interest discussions. I'm a true believer in being a life long learner because it really does help you grow. I wish more people realized this!
