Here are some tips for developing the habit of lifelong learning.
First, always have a book. It doesn’t matter if it takes you a year or a week to read a book. Always strive to have a book that you are reading through, and take it with you so you can read it when you have time. Just by shaving off a few minutes in-between activities in my day I can read about a book per week. That’s at least fifty books each year.
Second, keep a “To-Learn” List. We all have to-do lists. These are the tasks we need to accomplish. Try to also have a “To-Learn” list. On it you can write ideas for new areas of study. Maybe you would like to take up a new language, learn a skill or read the collective works of Shakespeare. Whatever motivates you, write it down.
Finally, get More Intellectual Friends. Start spending more time with people who think. Not just people who are smart, but people who actually invest much of their time in learning new skills. Their habits will influence you. Even better, they will probably share some of their knowledge with you.
Now listen again please.
