'Continuous learning: The key to success by Kathie C. Garbe, PhD, MCHES

Remember being curious and excited about discovering how things work, where things are in the world, why things are the way they are, and what something means? We were all born with the desire to learn and grow. For 12-16+ years, we are educational sponges, absorbing information on many subjects and learning the skills to apply knowledge. After that, many of us become lifelong-learners and continue to hold on to that spark. Others of us become more complacent, settled, and need to light the spark that reignites love of learning. To enhance our professional lives, we must clear the cobwebs and engage our brains in ways that improve our knowledge and skills.
