For me, lifelong learning is a journey, an adventure without an end. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we learn. Its kind of like eating the best durians, a bitter-sweet experience. What’s more, like durians, you can’t keep it enclosed. It will permeate all around. Some will share in the joy, others are neutral to it, some even despise it.
I’ve learnt that learning, like durians cannot be forced. It is acquired. All we can do is to inspire and provide a conducive environment for learning. Once they begin to appreciate learning, it quickly becomes addictive.
