The one thing in life
that can never be taken away from you is your education. You can lose your
money, your home, your job, and even your family. You can never lose the things
you learn.
Education is not
just what you learn in school, not by a long shot. Unfortunately, many people
make the mistake of “finishing” their education when they graduate. And
education is not just learning facts. Education is learning how to learn on a
continuing basis.
It is more
important than ever that you never stop learning. With the rapid advances in
knowledge and technology, information quickly becomes obsolete. So you must
learn not only the facts, but more importantly, how to find the information you
need.
Computer technology
is a powerful tool for learning. With computers, you can have access to a
virtually unlimited supply of information. My two year old daughter, who
already knows how to use a mouse to find what she wants, will probably have
fingertip access to the entire world’s libraries by the time she learns to
read.
If you are not continually
updating your knowledge you will be left behind. You must always be looking for
a better way to do something, for the knowledge that will make you more
effective. Because you can be sure that your competition is doing just that.
