“In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.”
- Eric Hoffer, Author The Ordeal of Change (1963) & The True Believer (1951)
No education has ever been complete out of school. New tools, material and processes improve any service or product. Competition forces businesses to lower costs every year.
Words are added every year, over 640 to Merriam-Webster dictionary. New meanings are given to old words. Qubit, Geosmin, or Bioabsorbable anyone?
There are more books written every day. New research daily. Ideas are promoted or disproved. Politics and the times change the way we look at things.
Technology is rapidly changing our work. Smart phones, 3D printers, advances in programming, modeling software, virtual training and business practices advance every year.
Be curious. Tomorrow will be different than today. People grow and change. Everyday I try to learn something new or stretch knowledge some way. What are you going to learn today?
