RE: When did you stop learning?

in Reflections5 months ago

I love you. Seriously. How do you always say things that are so on my mind?
I'm constantly learning new things. I'm learning how to exist in a foreign city now. Just earlier, I was proud of learning a few basic trajectories without the aid of my phone :D But no, I don't think most people our age concern themselves with that anymore.

I have a friend who recently got her first "real" job after a long formal education. And already, I'm beginning to see in her this know-it-all air take hold. It's clear she now speaks like an "adult" who knows things and is done learning. It's sad to be done learning at 25. Tragic, really.

I think educating yourself and kids go hand in hand. I'm at a place where I'm paying more attention to education possibilities (laws, restrictions, costs, etc) in the hope that wherever I end up, I'll have to consider educating my future children there (hopefully).
One thing I'm not too concerned about is my own attitude in teaching them. I figure as long as you stay curious and are always learning as a "grown-up", you're doing something right and that will pass to the little ones.

If I had to choose only one thing, I think that would be it. Curiosity!
Which again is, what most of us still have in abundance in our childhood years, ideally. And then it fades with every adult job and responsibility with most. Yes I know these people, makes me sad too, seeing them losing the spark...

It is wonderful to have you around and showing up!!
