Sometimes, an education will lead to learning, just for the love of learning. The fact that we can take online classes from Ivy League Universities and colleges is simply amazing. The robust online courses include notes, tests, quizzes, links to books, videos, podcasts, book titles, assignments and all the requirements that paying students are assigned. The difference is you take classes because you want to learn – not because you want a degree.
Life long learning will add a uniqueness and quality to your life that is hard to describe. The act of seeking out new topics, speakers, ideas, books, people, authors, museums and libraries will bring a fullness and excitement like nothing else.
Life long learning leads to more questions, more invitations, more knowledge and as the answers come… more questions. It’s a wonderful cycle that keeps the brain cells popping, growing and jumping for joy!
