I was taught at a very young age by a wise neighbour of mine, that you are never too old to learn. Infact when you stop learning, you die. The thing is that we are always and constantly learning new things all the time, in our work, reading , on the job planning and management, as well as just playing in the park with the kids. Learning is the essence and key to life, the more you know, through what you have learnt, the more equipped you are to handle different situations and problems as they arise in life. Dealing with any given predictament, is a matter of having the knowledge in what to do, heal the sick, how to fix a situation or replace a broken or damaged thing. We all need our own special brand of expertease in dealing with problems.

Of cource to we have professional graduates who just study at university all there life never being productive in the work arena, though most of them could tell professors what to do and should be one themself. Always learning is being taught and teaching as well, you can learn a lot from on the job training as well as just doing your daily job with a different set of circumstances each day to experience and gain knowledge of what to do under any given different circumstance. Children learn faster than adults and that is why they go to school at a young age to equip them for life after adolesence. Adults have allready experienced a lot and know a lot of things, that is why they learn slower and learning a new thing can be few and far between.

But still it is down to individual experience of mind, training and learned conditioning to learn. Once you have acquired a taste for learning you simply can't get enough of it and your desired learning rate is higher and therefore you learn more. As I said it is about training the mind to be conditioned to learning. This is because learning can become a way of life, in teaching and instructing in preaching and developement. In leading and guiding and through reading and writing. This is all conditional and subject to learning, mental capacity is only subject to being willing to learn and desiring to find out things that you do not know. Education is a wonderful thing and the more you learn the more you have a desire to learn, even if it is only reading the newspaper or watch the news on TV and editorial documentaries. Reading and searching the internet for material and subject matter. Talking to friends about how they spent the day and what the weather will be like for the next seven days or what you did last month or last year, even decades ago, all this draws on the memory for thought stimulation and categorises itself as learning.

You can even learn something new by going for a walk in the park and meeting diiferent people for the first time, every one has their own exciting story to tell if you will just take the time to find and meet people and listen to others about their way of life. Know the rose grows as we do in our daily walk of life, it needs pruning to make it grow healthier and reproduce, just like we lose a bit when we put things in the bin or go to the toilet, only we regain our knowledge in fresh food and new things being made for offer. We learn new things as we find the fresh fragrence of Spring or going to the beach in the Summer again to smell the salt air and have a swim, or the chilling coolness of Winter snow and the falling leaves of Autumn as the years and decades pass. As seasons and times change, so does our memory and experience of learning and forgetting, being quitely reminded of the things we knew is a welcome discovery on the road of life and all other existing experiences that we have known and recollect in relearning the things of the past from our mistakes and experiences, sometimes hurtful and painful.

Or just enjoying the reflections of what you knew and loved to reflect on now and again in times to come, these are some reasons why we learn, because life is good, life was sweet and God is faithful. Have a real good day each and everyone of you out there and remember to be kind and try and learn something new, each and every different new day.
