As I get older, I’ve realized the importance of continuing to learn new things. We live and work in an ever-changing world and there are always new challenges presenting themselves. I’ve also become increasingly aware of how easy getting stuck in a rut can be, and things I’ve done in the past that have worked for me, may not be as efficient today as they have been before. As well, acquiring new knowledge and skills can be valuable, not only professionally but personally. Your brain needs it, as much as your spirit.
