Lifelong Learning Strategy

In my own opinion, learning is a non-stop lifelong action whether you want to learn or not. Our experience is increasing within every day and within every brand new action we do. The strategy is very simple - we collect all kinds of the information we truly need and which increases the quality of our lives in the cultural and social aspects. We (humans, I mean...) aren't perfect at all. But we must seek the perfection. But what is perfection caused by? It is caused by knowledge, by "knowing how". Knowledge is a big power. It erases the differences in physical features (power, size, weight, etc. ...) between people. In other words, it is a feature which is reachable for everyone, and that is a great thing in my opinion. Everyone has got a chance to feel powerful, even without applying violence or something like that. And everyone can call himself a winner after understanding that.
When talking about the concrete academic studying, it is well said: "It is never too late to learn." I would even call this statement as "general truth". Our "knowledge - hunting" results don't depend on our age at all, I think. It doesn't matter if you're 10 or if you're 70 years old, you still can be a very clever person, and you WILL be clever if you want it. On the other hand, we can't possess the knowledge of everything in the world. No one knows EVERYTHING. And here, the main point of my own lifelong learning strategy comes up to the surface: when you learn, select the biggest priorities of what do you want to learn best and then go on and never let them (priorities) go. If you manage doing it, you are gonna be a powerful person... ;)
