My Top 5 Reasons To Keep Learning

The great Englsh thinker, John Henry Newman, once commented that the study of history and literature opens a place where “the secrets of the heart are brought to light, pain of the soul is relieved, hidden grief is carried off, sympathy conveyed, counsel imparted, experience recorded, and wisdom perpetuated”.

As many of us are in the midst of writing essays or assignments, reading books or involved in weighty discussions  I thought it would  good just to ponder for a moment on some of the reasons why we do this.

My Top 5 Reasons To Keep Learning

1. There is much to learn
2. By reviewing past wisdom we gain vision for the future
3. It improves us personally and professionally
4. We are handy resources on trivia nights
5. Our brain functions just like other muscles in our body -we need to exercise it.

 So keep thinking fellow primates -like our friend below.

I would love you to add to the list... please leave a comment.
