Quick Tips for Lifelong Learning

•  Always have a book, no matter how long or short. Carry a book to read

   motivated and happy by pursuing the things you always wanted to do,
   accomplishing as much as you can.

•  Spend time with interesting people. You become what you surround
   yourself with. By spending time with others who invest in learning new
   skills, you will do the same and also learn from them.

•  Guide your thinking. Spend time journaling, meditating, or contemplating
   new ideas.

•  Teach others. You learn what you teach. Solidify learning by starting a

   learning fun and a social experience. Enroll in a class at a college or
   university.
