Learning is a continuous process

Yup...you heard it right!

There is so much in this world that we do not know and learning is a life long process. Be it ourselves or even our surroundings. One has to have the inquisitive nature about the intriguing enigma of life and mankind. By this I don't merely stress upon you shooting questions at any individual you meet but the ability to ponder about deep thoughts and engage in discussions with the like minded individuals.

There is so much in this world that it is impossible to learn everything. In fact, it's fascinating to learn about how we ourselves function. Giving it a slight thought, this provokes my thinking further about how we are wired to think in the first place. Man has made tremendous contributions to the world till date with some of his creations in the same lines as himself. Consider the new age robots which are being created in the laboratories with artificial intelligence instilled in their chips. Man is so much like these machines with bones and flesh instead of wires and processors. But there is still something much beyond that which makes mankind a class apart from the rest, machines or even other species, as of now. There's still a probability of existence of a superior species else where in the mystic universe which stretches beyond our imagination.

Thoughts such as these are mysteries by themselves. Indeed, learning is a continuous process.


These are some of the interesting quotes I came across ---



Know thyself.
- Socrates
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
-Socrates
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
-Henry Ford
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
-William Blake
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
-Albert Einstein
You cannot open a book without learning something.
-Confucius
Learning never exhausts the mind.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
-Bill Gates

  2. Thanks! I agree...one needs to have an inquisitive mind to learn it all...if age is a deterrence then learning stops!
