Welcome to Learn4aLifetime!

Hello, my name is Dan. My goal in his blog is to share what I know about learning and encourage others to do so for their entire lives. That's right, learning does not begin or end with schooling. Nor should we stop learning just because we grow older or achieve the career we want. I don't know everything, to be sure, but I'm in the game of learning as much as I can about as many subjects as I can.

So let us begin with a few things that I do know.

1.) We learn long before we enter formal training.

2.) Formal training is a tool, not a guarantee, of learning.

3.) After formal training ends, we need to continue to learn to maintain our edge in the market and/or our fields.

4.) Challenging our brains can help keep us mentally young.

5.) Learning can be fun, if you do it right!

Please join me in this pursuit, and feel free invite others as well.
