Why is Lifelong Learning Important?

Suppose we go to school and all the teachers taught were the basic subjects and that once you have finished learning them, that was it. That would not be fair to you, nor would it be fair to the world or your community.
Lifelong Learning has many advantages that should be encouraged and supported by the proper learning environment. They say that Life is the greatest teacher of all. Here are some of my thoughts on the topic of Why Lifelong Learning is Important?
- It promotes our natural and human curiosity
- It is good for business
- It is the best way to encourage students and motivate them, knowing that there is more available beyond the school walls
- It does continue beyond graduation of high school or college
- The above video is about creating fieldtrips2.0 blogs like at EduBlogs.org and Wikispaces.com
- Lifelong Learning helps to foster continuous activity and good mental health thus prolonging life and wellness.
- As the population ages, particularly the baby boom generation, it will be more important for them to find things they want to learn about and do
- Lifelong Learning is about experiencing the new and unknown
- Whether you are in school or not, lifelong learning can continue
- Whether it is picking up a book at a library or reading in a bookstore
- Watch a play, see a movie, travel, relax, ……live the life you were meant to
- Be the teacher that you need in your own life, or find someone who can be
- Seek out new experiences and work at what is stopping you
- Be inspired, or inspiring to others
- Learn from others mistakes and your own
- Achieve a balanced lifestyle
- Know what personal success means to you so that you don’t bring yourself down
- Be a Legend…..
- Do what you want or love to do
- Find your place in the world and know that there is a reason for everything

Good Day my friend,
I like your list. It brings out new ideas and makes one think about what learning really is. Learning is not just sitting in a classroom.
It continues throughout life, keeping your brain active.
Good job on Adding the Picture…it gets you on the Featured Link at the top of the Eduacation page.
Enjoy the Day!
