Learning & why it resonates with me-LATI

"The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live."

Being older and starting a new career is what drew me to this quote on learning. I first laughed when I read it from the perspective of aging. As I thought further I realized that learning is growth- growing in knowledge--growing in understanding--growing in compassion--growing in wisdom--growing in love, etc. It is never just standing still on facts-- learning goes far beyond just knowing. Learning is something that takes place our whole life--even when it involves learning something over again. Without growth there is no learning only knowledge. To learn is to act upon what one knows.
