The Lifelong Learner :: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are -Roosevelt ::

I am starting a learning log. In this log, I will enter my thoughts on what I’m learning, what I want to learn: anything that is learning related.

The bottom line is that I want to become a lifelong learner. I want to learn something new everyday. I want to continue on that path until I die. Why? Because that’s what I like to do. I like to learn new things, read new books.

But how did I come about doing this? I am currently reading “The Lifelong Learner” book. In that book, the author suggests creating a learning log and entering stuff into it daily.

I will spend 5 to 10 minutes every day and enter my thoughts into this log. I will create a separate blog on my website and enter all of my entries there. I will read my entries every couple of months. For now, I’m not going to make it public, but I think eventually I will.

As several people said, great thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries all had a learning log. I will have mine as well.

I’m hoping that this will help me. It will help me develop new skills, have a more focused purpose of life. This will help me in almost all of the facets of my life.
