Are you a lifelong learner?
Our degrees or formal education that we have acquired thus far are not the end of our education, but rather the beginning of our lifelong learning journey.
You might ask what constitutes a lifelong learner? Here are the primary qualities of lifelong learners:
Have a purpose and goal for learning.
Grow their knowledge and skills continuously as a habit.
Set time in their calendar dedicated to learning
Invest financially in the most important asset, themselves.
Humble and curious about discovering what they don’t know.
Join and participate in a community of learners and mentors.
Motivated to engage in various learning experiences (courses, conferences, etc) autonomously.
Stretch themselves with difficulty and risk beyond their comfort zone.
Practice deliberately in pursuit of excellence and mastery.
Recognize and enjoy the return on investment from such a lifestyle.
Regardless of where you are today, realize that you can become more competent, confident, and more capable but it will require you to put in the work. It doesn't happen by chance. Put in some time today and learn to become a better version of yourself.
