Zig Ziglar said, “If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.” We should make it our goal to learn more than we did yesterday. One of the greatest investments you can make is the investment in your mind. B.B. King (American singer-songwriter) said, “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”
Your education is not something you can complete. Lifelong learning is an ongoing pursuit of knowledge. We can never stop learning because life will never stop teaching new lessons. We must be eager and ready to learn new skills this school year, never belittle your ability to learn. It is important to have a thirst and a hunger for knowledge. Your education has the power to make your dreams possible and to elevate you to a better life. There is nothing that is beyond your reach when you focus on your education. There is not a single thing you can’t accomplish. The sky and not your individual ceiling should be the purpose of your striving. Make a commitment this school year to discover your untapped abilities.
Steve Jobs said, “Learn continually – there’s always one more thing to learn.” Remember, your education is not something you can complete.
