As life expectancy continues to rise, it is becoming less and less realistic to work as a secure retirement and even provide security for the rest of the year.
Especially now that the environment is changing too fast, and the network environment has reduced the cost of acquiring knowledge very low, and the cognitive gap between people is getting bigger and bigger.
With a mobile phone, everyone can capture the information they want anytime, anywhere. Some people like to learn new things, and some people don't.
Everyone will make sure that they have their phone in their hand long enough that when you pass the time with it, others are absorbing important and helpful information for their own growth. In the long run, this gap will widen.
In this case, the more knowledge and experience we accumulate, the more competitive we will be in the workplace. In other words, we need to have the ability to continue learning in this dynamic and complex environment in order to tackle more challenges.
3 Benefits of Continuous Learning for Adults:
1. You can enhance your own value. With more knowledge and skills, the value of one's own creations and the value of being recognized by others will be enhanced;
2. Improve the suitability ability. Updating concepts, optimizing learning methods, challenging behavioral habits, etc., the environment is changing, and we also need to be able to cope with external changes when we acquire capabilities;
3. Have the opportunity to become who you want to be and fight for more initiative for yourself. As you continue to learn and improve, you will have more experience and methods that you can use flexibly, which means that the scope of your self-control is expanding.
In fact, if you want to, we can tap into more benefits of continuous learning and lifelong learning. For example, self-realization, self-confidence, being able to help others and improve interpersonal relationships by the way, making you more confident to be yourself, improving your ability to make money, and so on. It's really hard to enumerate everything, because the scope of what we can learn is immeasurable, and the possibilities for the future will be even greater.
How to learn?
Combine learning with career planning, and set quantifiable and achievable goals for what you want to improve. The goal must be achievable.
Observe the strengths of others and set some example behaviors for yourself as a guide to make what you want to be, but the goal should still be set within your own ability. How well we learn sometimes depends on who we learn from and who we look up to.
You don't need to be decent to learn, and when you encounter a problem that you don't understand, you can boldly ask the people around you for advice. However, at this point, there is nothing wrong with preferring to search on your own. After all, everyone's time is precious, and it is still necessary to weigh the cost of each other's time.
What you have learned must be exported and you must find opportunities to use it, so that you can test whether you can apply what you have learned. It is a good choice to take notes, share with people around you, post on the Internet and discuss with netizens, and expand your thinking.
Don't let go of the areas you are interested in, keep your curiosity and attention, and you may even be able to develop a side hustle. As an aside, there have been many people who have taken their interests as a side hustle and can do it since the ** era.
Reading, this channel for acquiring systematic knowledge, must be retained, and the habit of reading must be developed. This way, if you want to improve your ability in any area, you can read a lot. Even if the content of the book you choose at the beginning is average, the integrity of the content you have acquired through reading can still be guaranteed.
It can be read utilitarianly, or it may not have to. How to understand it? In order to solve some problems, complete certain goals, and learn more new knowledge, that is, to read books with a purpose, it is normal; It's okay to read books that interest you but don't seem to be useful, as it can also enhance your reading experience and improve your concentration.
The learning environment is also very important, such as a bookstore, library, or a slightly more specialized office area for yourself. In the process of studying and reading, try to make sure that the environment is clean and simple, and there are no irrelevant items, so that the whole process will be more focused and free of distractions.
Ensure high-quality sleep, so that even during sleep and rest time, the brain will help us convert short-term memories into long-term memories, so try not to do things that affect sleep, such as scrolling your phone before bedtime, eating, etc.
Take advantage of the convenience of the Internet, and directly search for various tutorials for the parts you want to improve. Use your phone as a learning tool, and once this concept is implanted in your head, you are not far from hanging up.
All kinds of knowledge bloggers are sharing content in vertical fields, and it is not easy to sort out the dry goods in an issue. For example, although I usually read books every day, for those skills that I am too lazy to acquire through reading, such as how to raise green plants, homemade flower soil, etc., I learned it by "brushing **", which is very efficient.
Originality is important. Don't miss out on systematic and fragmented learning opportunities, with an open mind to absorb nutrients, as our cognition, consciousness, thoughts, and experience continue to be optimized, we will gradually develop the ability to filter information.
By knowing what is the best and what is the dross, and what is more valuable to us, then our own knowledge system will gradually be improved, and we will be more likely to summarize our own set of methods and tutorials in the future.
Finally
We don't want to learn any skills quickly, we don't want to learn any speed reading skills, because it is easy to make people anxious at the thought of learning.
Everyone has what they want to become, what they want to work towards, what skills they want to master, etc., and it's useless to just think about it, you have to really do it, act on it, and practice it.
I hope everyone will realize how important continuous learning is for their future.
