What motivates you to keep learning new things?

Learning and applying what I learn is my modus operandi. For a while, I thought everyone was wired that way. Maybe we are, but just with different priorities.

In my career days, learning was a survival tactic. Now, in retirement, it’s pure curiosity. But let’s face it, navigating the rapid changes of life always keeps me on my toes, pushing me to study and research daily.

Writing is my secret weapon. As I write, questions pop up like curious little gophers, leading me down to new research rabbit holes. It’s a never-ending cycle of discovery.

Ultimately, we’re always learning. Take driving, for example. We observe the road, the cars around us, their speed, how close they are, and how dangerous they might be in an emergency. That’s learning and decision-making in action.

So, whether it’s for survival, curiosity, or just keeping up with life’s twists and turns, learning is my constant companion. And goodness, it keeps the brain sharp and the heart young!
