“I'm a constant learner. You need to be a constant
student
because things change and you have to change and grow.
And I emphasize the word 'grow’”
(Zig Ziglar)
To know is to arrive; to
ask questions is to embark on a quest. People whose lives are characterized by
a question mark (?) rather than a period (!), who look for learning
opportunities everywhere they go, are generally joyful, are more creative,
enjoy better relationships, and attain higher levels of satisfaction in life.
To be a lifelong learner
is both fun and functional, and all we need to travel along that path is a humble heart and a curious mind. Every person we meet – a student or a teacher, a
friend or a stranger – can teach us something; each experience holds within it an important lesson; in every moment is
a message waiting to be discovered. When we embrace the spirit of inquiry
and curiosity, we embrace life. How wonderful it is that this life is an inexhaustible
source of wonders. How exciting to learn that the excitement of learning can
last a lifetime. Even young Jesus “listening to [the Jewish teachers] and
asking questions” and they in return “we amazed at his intelligent answers”
(Luke 2:46-47).
Don’t be in ignorance,
Open your mind and heart to learning.
Lord, Give
Us Today Our Daily Idea(s)
