Do You Invest In Continuing Education?
ByDo you remember your graduation from the 8th grade, high school, college, graduate school, or post graduate school? Did you think your learning was now over? Webster’s dictionary defines graduation as a time when a person is given a degree or diploma in recognition of the completion of a course of study at a school or college.
Take a moment now to review the bodies of knowledge you have acquired or mastered so far in your life. Research shows that to be a well-rounded, fully functional, multidimensional, fulfilled person you need to invest in seven bodies of knowledge for a lifetime. These include: Spiritual, Financial, Social, Mental, Physical, Family and Career.
How many courses or seminars have you attended since you graduated? How many books have you read? Have you listened to educational audiotapes weekly? I believe the most fulfilled people love to read, listen to educational audiocassettes, go to seminars, and upgrade their skills daily.
When was the last time you visited a library or bookstore and explored the worlds of great ideas and great minds? By reading 20 minutes every day for six months on a specific subject, you can become an expert. The person with the skill has the power, and the person with the power has the skill. Knowledge is power. I believe when you combine your knowledge and use it with integrity you are destined for greatness.
I believe we all need to invest daily in at least five skills in order to survive in the future and release our full potential. I also believe when your Self-Esteem is intact, you will invest more in such skills as Self-Esteem, Asking Questions, Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, Math, and Responsibility.
When you accept responsibility for everything you think, say, do, and feel, you will create your life the way you want it. You will invest in learning more. You will know how to apply the necessary skills, at the appropriate time, thereby obtaining the best outcomes. The more you know – the more you know you don’t know. Make learning fun!
Many TV’s are on got hours every day. We are generally passive and nonproductive during this time.
Give yourself a grade, A – B – C – D – F, on your Life- long Learning program. Would you be interested in earning a better grade?
Decide to invest in your Life Long Learning daily and then, watch what happens!
