Lifelong Learning
"You don't grow old. When you cease to learn you are old." - Reuel L. Howe
What exactly is lifelong learning in our later years?
Well, you could say it's a belief in a philosophy that promotes one simple truth...
Lifelong learning is the process of maintaining an active and alert mind, body and spirit as we age.
It's also an opportunity to make our own unique contribution to society, to meet new people and explore new ideas after we are no longer working full-time.
Some examples include:
- Exploring Lifelong Learning in the Classroom as a way to study new and different subjects, such as archaeology, politics, art, music, great literature, languages and history.
- Surfing the Internet for online classes that satisfy our intellectual curiosity.
- Discovering that Lifelong Learning through Educational Travel is a great way to study different cultures and traditions and learn more about the world we live in.
- Utilizing your knowledge and expertise by engaging in Lifelong Learning through Community Service to help make our society better for everyone, both now and in the future.
No matter what Lifelong learning means to you, the premise is the same...
Lifelong learning raises your intellectual, social, spiritual and physical horizons to new heights.
The world is at your doorstep...
Whoever said retirement was only about golf, rocking chairs, and early-bird dinner specials?
Lifelong learning's core values of learning, exploring, and serving, coupled with benefits for the mind, body and spirit make it an incredibly powerful tool for personal transformation and enhancement.
