Growing up, I kind of hated learning. I studied and did well, but I did it because I was supposed to. Now that I am now longer in school and on my own, I enjoy learning. I get to look into things that I’m curious about, things that are tangible to my life. It’s a very different feeling.
Also, it is my firm belief that this mindset and act of learning new things will keep me sharper in my older years than if I did not have that learning mindset.
