A Lifetime Student

I have to say, one of my dream jobs would be to get paid for learning. Learning is a sweet spot for me, however, it doesn't mean that I always learn quickly. There are concepts that I have found to be so difficult to wrap my head around, that have left me in tears....and it's usually aything to do with math and statistics....anyone else?
Learning expands our minds, our perception, and our compassion. Learning has helped me feel better about who I am, who I was created to be, and who I want to become. It has opened up my mind to possibilities that I never before considered. It has helped me decide what I want to "be" when I "grow up" and what I DON'T want to "be". It has helped me understand the world much better, and how my influence can make a difference.... or not.
Learning helps me stay "well oiled" physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I am more relatable to all kinds of people, and I have found it keeps me fresher, younger, and more enthusiastic about life. I encourage everyone to keep learning...until they are no longer breathing....because it just makes me feel better about myself...so, it should be that way for everyone, right?
Hey, I know better than that...I've learned to be more open-minded about what others may or may not feel. Have a great day! GO read a book...or something! :)

  1. I have to agree with you, Pam, on getting paid to be a student. I would be rich if I could get paid for all of the learning I have done, as a student, not to mention in life. I am really looking forward to your posts as it appears you have a great sense of who you are. Some people go through their lives never knowing themselves. I am one of the blessed that creates time for myself to do some self-reflecting. I never like to settle for anything. I always strive to do better, get better and be better, as a humanitarian. I believe we should all be more open-minded and sensitive to others and try to see thigns through their eyes. It may not always be as simple as it seems. Good luck in class & I look forward to your future posts.
