Be a learner always.

I agree with the quote given at the beginning of the article, " The greatest lesson I learnt is that still I have to learn a lot."

Knowledge is vast and nobody can ever say that he has learnt completely even in the field of his specialization. Nobody can ever say that he has achieved total perfection. Moreover, the world is not static. There is constant development in technology and other matters. So one has to constantly learn just for survival.

Absolutely. Learning is not a single time activity. It's a continuous process that starts from the cradle and lasts until the grave yard.

Well said sir. It started when we born and ends only when we leave this world. Change is  the only thing which is eternal always. Learning is the only thing which  keeps us going forward.

 Learning does not end in this life. It continues with you throughout your next lives (if you believe in rebirth), till you reach perfection.

The moment one stops learning, his decline starts.

 

There are some people who seem to think that once they reach a certain age and stage in life they know everything there is...They are only limiting themselves by having such an attitude - Indeed life is about learning and moving forward and the process shd never never stop as long as you are alive 

Pablo Cassals, the legendary Cellist was asked on his 92nd b' Day,why he practices everyday religiously though he was a celebrated Cellist.

Pablo Cassals said, " I may learn something new." 

Learning is a never ending process. From each work we are learning something new. If we are not learning and doing the same job we will get bored soon.

Just Learning is not enough. You have to update yourself. For this you have to be an ever learner.

I am still learning and I felt I have learned nothing so far. I will have to start all over again.

What we knew is very less and what has to still learn is vast.

Experience is the medium through which we gain real knowledge. Knowledge without Experience is incomplete.

AND the only way to gain both knowledge and experience is learning for ever.

 Yes, it is an endless process. The more we learn, the more we become aware about our ignorance; …. Knowledge reveals Ignorance.

At times small children teach ypu ways of life, honestly it is amazing at times how they can humble us  that is if we are observant. The other day a child, also a student  in our school , who is the daughter of the daily help was sweeping the class room floors and cleaning the black boards helping her father and she is barely 5 years old. When I mentioned this in the teachers room the response was typical - she is afterall a servants daughter...But they dont seem to realise the child's interest in keeping her surrounding clean and taking pride in doing so...

Before Cubism was invented, Pablo Picasso one day was busy before his easel. Seeing him painting a profile, a child 4 years, asked Picasso, 'Where is the other eye?'. We all know only half of the face is visible in a profile. 

The question baffled Picasso . Made him sit. The child's innocent question ignited his imagination.

Then he thought of finding a new way, where a picture can depict both profile and full face.

It was the beginning of Cubism, that created waves all over the art world.

Then came his "Guernica" depicting the war ravages perpetrated on Spain.

The Guernica made Picasso immortal.

So behind cubism a child's innocence was there.

Learning is a continuous process and we have to keep learning until we kick the bucket. As a child we don't give up when we fail but as adults we give up or give in when we don't fair well in the first attempt, but we should never lose heart and keep our mind open to learning.

When the man enters adulthood, he thinks that he's no more a child. He is not aware that he lost his childhood's grit, determination and firm resolve. He has forgotten, how he used to fall down several times while trying to walk. Still, without crying or seeking help from dad or mum, he used to get up every time he has fallen and continue his walking process.

You know once a person gets older he learns different things according to requirements. As a professional one has to keep updating on daily basis.
