What’s Your Lifelong
Learning Index?
We now accept the fact that
learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing
task is to teach people how to learn. Peter
Drucker
How would you like to be as
mentally sharp and prolific as Peter Drucker, who is 94 years old? In other
articles that have appeared at ProductivElearn.com we have outlined easy and
specific steps for you to master and accelerate your learning process. Take a moment now to measure your
lifelong learning. Brain research has also revealed that lifelong learners tend
to remain mentally sharp into the later years of life. Dementia can be
arrested. Also, studies on longevity point to lifelong learning as a key
component to remaining healthier in later years. Where do you measure up as a
lifelong learner? Take this quick inventory.
