Lifelong self-education

Some people think that the best age for learning is before the age of 30. After this age, it is necessary and difficult to continue studying. In fact, such an idea is biased. Carnegie's theory points us in the direction: self-learning and self-education are things for a lifetime.

If you have been over 30 years old and have not received a considerable education, you don't have to be discouraged. Once upon a time, there was a man who bought a field from a born, lazy, profligate person, and waited until the end of May. In the early days, the landlord who had been sunburned had never planted it and had never worked. Many neighbors have told the new landlord that the early spring has passed, and it is too late to plant anything other than growing vegetables. But this new landlord is a very intelligent, very capable person; he has made some late-growing cereal seeds, and got a very rich harvest one by one over the gains of other neighbors. The occurrence of such facts is not limited to ploughing the fields. In all aspects of life, there is a possibility of coming up.

If you really have an upward ambition, if you really want to remedy the loss of your early school, you should remember that everyone you meet every day can gain your knowledge. If you meet a printing master, he can also inculcate many of your printing techniques; a plasterer can also tell you the architectural skills; an ordinary farmer, and his experience of doing things, you can get a lot from him. Human feelings.

Using the possible conditions or opportunities to try to ingest knowledge is the only way to make people knowledgeable. Extensive knowledge can make people's minds open and not be narrow and embarrassing. Such people can touch life and understand life in many ways.

Some people who have difficulties in family or who are physically disabled and who do not have access to college always feel that they have suffered an irreparable loss, thinking that this is a defect that can never be remedied in their lifetime. They will feel that even if they study in the future, they will not be able to make up for the shortcomings of today. But as far as the facts are concerned, among those who have academic, cultivated and leveled people, many are those who have never received a college education, even those who have not even entered the middle school.

A young man who has not read the country has self-study many historical books and has become a historian. He has also been praised by many people.

If you are not easy to understand because some disciplines are not easy to understand, and you suspect that your learning and memory are not as good as before, then you don't have to be discouraged. The meaning of education is very broad, and we can avoid courses that are not of interest to us. For some subjects, adults have much more ability to learn and remember than younger students because adults have more experience, more mature insights, and more correct judgment.

Through his decades of research, Carnegie has concluded that a person's life should be an ongoing process of self-education. Age, education, or other reasons should not be a factor hindering self-education.
