Study is one thing we all must continue to do in life if we want to grow.
One wise man once said "anytime you stop reading, you start dying" and this statement is so true. Learning is a continuous process and we must continue studying and learning until death calls
Life itself is a school and a teacher to us so we must keep on learning.
The only difference between the school environment and life is that there are specified laid down rules which students must obey in school; but in life, there are also rules but nobody forces anybody to obey them, we're not forced to learn like students are forced to learn in school
In life, one has to do the right things always without being told because everything we do has consequences.
So it's in our best interest to always do the right things always
How do we know the right thing to do per time?
There are basically two ways we know what we ought to do or not to do;
the first is by instinct, by following our heart, our conscience.
There are a lot of things we don't do that nobody has ever told us they're not to do, but we don't do them simply because "we know" we shouldn't do them, nobody told you, we just know.
The same way we know the good things we should do, nobody tells you but you know
The second way is by learning; I will call it secondary way of learning because our instinct is the first, that even teaches little babies to cry when they're hungry
It is very important that we learn everyday, we learn by seeing, we learn by experience, we learn by hearing from news and what other people tell us; above all, we learn by reading, studying
Majority of the things I know today, I read the from books. For instance, I've never been to any native English speaking country, but I can speak, read and write the language.
There are a lot of things we miss by not reading, and there are a lot we gain and still stand to gain if we cultivate the habit of reading.
Reading and learning is a continuous process as long as we live
Some people have the notion that one only learns or studies when they are in school, but this is not true, you can teach yourself, you can read and learn even from the comfort of your bed depending on what you want
Studying is to the brain what food is to the body. If you don't eat for long, you start dying gradually till you stop breathing, same with reading
I don't know the last time you read or learnt a new thing, you don't have to be in school or have a teacher to learn. Read books, teach yourself and ask questions
If you don't know a particular thing and you know people that do, go to them and learn from them, how you learn or who teaches you isn't important, the most important thing is for you to learn, study everyday
Good
