It\u00b4s what we call <strong>lifelong learning<\/strong> (translated into Spanish as \"educaci\u00f3n permanente\"), and it\u00b4s tremendously helpful for a variety of things, some more obvious than others: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Expand our knowledge, acquire new skills, adapt to an ever-changing work environment. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broaden our perspective, grow as professionals, and more importantly, evolve in our personal lives. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As if all that was not enough, lifelong learning has another huge benefit: learning new and interesting things gives us renewed curiosity; it helps us to stay motivated and active while exercising our minds, which in turn will help us to maintain good health and quality of life as we age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a couple of quotes to reflect on this topic, both from the same author: a self-taught thinker and philosopher who, despite never having attended college, went on to achieve a Nobel prize in literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong>In times of change, learners inherit the earth, <\/strong><br><strong>while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.<\/strong><\/p><cite>Eric Hoffer<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong>The truly human society is a learning society, <\/strong><br><strong>where grandparents, parents, and children are students together.<\/strong><\/p><cite>Eric Hoffer<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfEst\u00e1s haciendo ahora mismo alg\u00fan curso o formaci\u00f3n interesante?
