The Importance of Lifelong Learning

Work and study today are very different from what they were like 20 years ago. In the past, people often worked in the same job for lifetime. Today, however, everyone needs to keep on learning new things on the job. In order to keep up with the fast changing world, it is common for people to go back to school from time to time. Changing jobs has also become common for many people, as they want to get more work experiences, develop new skills and meet new challenges. In the information age, you can’t think that you have finished with your studies. If you don’t want to fall behind in today’s job market, you have to learn new skills all the time.

Lifelong learning is not only to gain knowledge but also to form habits of study, and develop attitudes of learning.
