What does lifelong learning mean to you?

1. Power?

Learning satisfies my thirst for knowledge. The next question might arise is: what can knowledge bring?

“Scientia potentia est – Knowledge is power.” Sir Francis Bacon

I am yet so infant to see what power he referred to, but up until now I am able to see the Tao of how knowledge has been transforming my mind, behavior and outlook – for the better.

2. Growth?

Only when my learning is lifelong, I may not cease to grow.

It is observable that sometimes I am seen as ‘obsessed of learning’. It’s not that I am frenzy. I normally try to stuff things to my head until the point of overwhelming. It is then when an event triggers synthesis and takes me to the next level of enlightenment. Most of the time when I understand more, I see more of what I don’t know.

My sense of ‘growth’ is idealistic. Everytime I traverse through each area, the outlook shifts from one idealism to yet another. Yet, my behaviors become more practical and meaningful to the community.
