Why Learning is Important

Why Learning is Important

Learning is defined as relative lasting chance in behavior that is the result of experience. Learning widens your horizons, enhances your knowledge and constantly keeps you up to date with the current world. I personally suggest lifelong learning to many people because you can grow as a person during the process. Moreover you can always develop your knowledge base and improve for better which can get you access to different opportunities and fresh new experiences.

Skills are Learned NOT Earned

I am a man of strict motive and I strongly believe that to survive in this harsh lifetime, one must be an active learner and a skillful person. This world we are living in is a hell for an unskilled person. Because only a person with intrinsic motivation and a particular skill can adapt to changing world economy. Well at conclusion to this point, I might as well share some common workman skills:

1- Collaboration an Teamwork

2- Creativity and Imagination

3- Critical Thinking

4- Problem Solving

5- Teamwork and Delegation

6- Confidence

7- Self-Management 

8- Decision Making

Your Purpose in Life and Determination of Path

A specific term "college and career readiness" has been used over couple of decades when addressing
purpose and path of life. This concept refers to development of perseverance, growth of mindset and enhancement of believe that we continue to learn throughout our lives. Basically a learning path is a sequence of courses that allows an individual to learn effectively with small steps. Similarly Learning itself determines guarantee to a path of success.

Passion and Satisfaction

I think that most of you think that we have done a lot of learning and we are merely saturate. But pursuing passion and interest out of work is actual learning. For an individual, passion-based learning is a force that inspires art and make the weak strong. Because passion makes a way out of no way. Also learning basically is a major source of satisfaction as-well. Basically the word satisfaction doesn't clearly suits the perspective instead, "peace of mind" fits the frame. Hence a person with a skill and a positive learning capability holds special satisfaction or rather should I say "peace of mind".

Economic Imperative and Leadership

According to recent article in The Economist, Learning is becoming an economic imperative. Technology change demands stronger and more continuous connections with education and employment.The Return on Investment between education and employer is not as liner as it once. Learning mutually develops a spectrum of leadership traits in a person:

1- Honesty and Integrity
2- Commitment and Passion
3- Decision-making capabilities
4- Delegation and Empowerment
5- Creativity and Innovation

Learning Prepares for the Unexpected

Lets face it guys, life is the synonym of attributing hardships so what? doesn't mean we have to give up on our goal. Not at all but the hardships encountered by you will definitely help you succeed in future. Because it makes a better person to have had hardships and to have overcome them and most importantly not to blame anyone for your mistakes. Lifelong learning will help you adapt to unexpected changes in life. Learning advances growing on a whole new level which makes it easier for you to forge out of your comfort zone.

Changes your Perspective

Learning new skills give us the feeling of accomplishment which in turn boosts our confidence. It unveils new opportunities and help you find interactive solutions to your problems easily. Lifelong learning broadens your

thoughts and changes your attitude by building on what you actually know. The more you learn, the more you  see the same situation from different views.
