Lifelong learning is now becoming a must for everyone in the modern world. Many people,
however, find it overwhelming as being lifelong learners they will have to keep studying for their entire
life. The following are several strategies to promote lifelong learning.
First, start with a clear purpose. Study something that you will likely have many uses for in the
future. Design learning goals that should serve you in your career path, as well as in your personal
interests. You will need to think of the learning experience as continuous investment rather than a one-
off endeavor.
Second, choose to study something that is really enjoyable for you. You will need to have fun
all through the pursuit of knowledge and skills, which will be an endless journey. The ‘fun’ part will
always keep you motivated, even during the hard times.
Third, lifelong learning is not just about keeping on studying; you will need to think through what
you have learned, and find out how to apply it to your work and personal life. Don't read too much and
use your brain too little. Think more often; meditate on the ideas that you feel might make your work
and/or life better.
Those are the key strategies to make sure your lifelong learning is studying smart rather than
studying hard. Remember, the lifelong learning movement is unstoppable.
