How to Become a Lifelong Learner

Learning doesn't stop just because school does. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day, you will not only enjoy what you discover, but you will be able to apply your knowledge and become a teacher to future generations. Here are some steps to become a life­long learner.

Learn how you learn.1.Note what learning techniques are most efficient for you and use them as much as is practical, such as viewing online tutorials on websites like YouTube if you're more of a visual learner.

2.Try many different things so that you don't box yourself into believing you're only good at a few things. It's probable that you're good at many things, but you won't know until you've tried.

Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity, not a chore (琐事)．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they are important or necessary.3. Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much, with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing? The point was to bring you to learn details now, which will knit chunks of information together later.4.

Read, read, read.5. Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you; reading is, in effect, a shortcut so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.

A．Learn where your talents and interests lie.

B．It was a chore then, but it makes sense, now.

C．Recognize the educational value in whatever you read.

D．Determine your own preferred learning style or styles.

E．Their ways of learning might help you to improve your own.

F．Make friends with your local library and new and used book sellers.

G．Instead, learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn.
