To continue learning throughout our lives means expanding our knowledge on an infinite amount of subjects and the world around us.  Where would we be but within our own little bubble of common knowledge if we never had the desire to keep on learning.  Learning doesn’t necessarily mean school learning but the experiences we go through and the things we learn in life on a daily basis.  Would you really want to stay static like a human fossil with only the knowledge that you have today?  Think of all the languages you could practice, the books you haven’t read and the instruments you could play.

In order reach our own maximum potential we must deepen our knowledge in the world around us.  Every day we have the opportunity to learn whether it be in school a new job or how to use an iPhone.  Learning keeps us invested in life, sharp.  Ever notice how the ones learning are so full of life and cheerful? Little kids are learning so much every single day, adults who may be in their 4^th year of university for a medical degree are learning everyday but everyday your aging and when your old you need something to keep you going people turn to what they don’t know in life a new sport, an art and try to gain knowledge or skill in something.  Michael Jordan one of the most well-known players in the NBA left school to play basketball however after all his success in life was not enough for him, he went back to North Carolina and earned his degree in Geography.  James Franco best known for his acting in all three spider man movies earned his honors degree in English in 2008 and is currently working toward his Master of Fine Arts in writing at Columbia University.

Whether you are pleased with the job you have or not many people decide to go back to school and continue learning throughout their lives; it is important because life is about change.  Why would we ever do anything if nothing grew, relationships and no promise of improvement? And that is why it is important to keep learning throughout life because without growth we are stuck in the same place.
