As long as your brain is intact, you should never stop learning.
It doesn't matter how old you are or what the subject is or even if you are learning from someone much younger.
Improving your mind, the quality of life, your business, or if you just love to learn, it's really a life-long process.
You could learn something new every single day until the day you die.
But wait one minute! Could there be such a thing as too much learning? Could constant learning become a hindrance? Chances are, you have known someone who people refer to as "The Perpetual Student.
" Usually it is someone who continually takes college or enrichment classes in one way or another.
They may have multiple degrees or they may never finish anything to even get one degree.
Some would argue that it doesn't matter what you do with knowledge because no one can take it away from you.
However, in today's virtual world, the perpetual student can become a hindrance to themselves.
Being a perpetual student could hold you back from achievements and success.
There is an overabundance of information at our fingertips on every subject imaginable.
Spending too much time watching how-to videos, participating in live webinars, reading scores of articles online and countless books from experts on everything could prevent you from putting that knowledge into action.
Often times the perpetual student remains in that role because they are afraid to try what they have learned.
It is easier to stay where it is comfortable because there are fewer risks.
Living life, putting your knowledge to work, and creating experiences can be overwhelming to some.
Sitting in a classroom, seminar, or even in front of your computer watching videos, webinars, or reading scores of information is safe.
The perpetual student often brags how much they are doing and how helpful the information will be for their career path, their business, or their personal life.
But what are they really gaining? A baby watches their parents walk, talk, and eat but unless they actually try those things, do they really know how to do them? Elementary students are taught reading, writing, and arithmetic but unless they practice reading, write their own papers, and do the math problems, chances are they won't get the full value of what they were taught.
The same goes for the person who is absorbed in seminars, webinars, videos, personal coaching, and every how-to or self-help book.
Continual learning is great but if you never STOP and DO, all that knowledge is just sitting in your head waiting to explode into something amazing.
Let it out.
Put it into action.
You might surprise yourself at what you can accomplish.
