Regardless of whether you finished school three years ago or three decades ago, you’re never too old to learn something new. In fact, we should always keep learning, as it’s impossible to know everything! When it comes to the benefits of being a lifelong learner, Corporate Finance Institute notes that this can be a huge factor in maintaining job security.
Even if you plan to work at the same company for many years, continually learning new skills and information will make you a much more valuable employee. Showing that you’re always learning might prove to your boss that you definitely deserve that raise. Or if you decide that it’s time to move on to another company, all of the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired over time can help you land another great job.
Learning can also provide you with a new sense of motivation. If you’ve been doing the same job for years and years, it may have become incredibly monotonous. And if you’re extremely bored at work, chances are your motivation has plummeted. If you want to stay engaged and energized, you have to keep your brain active.
Plus, if you’re always learning something new, you’re acquiring soft skills at the same time. Some of these may include goal setting, self-discipline, creativity, critical thinking, time management, problem-solving and adaptability. All of which can benefit you in both your personal and professional life.
This is the kind of thing ALL governments should be working on... Rather than war-mongring and stoking the flames of capitalism that are razing our planet as we increase our mindless consumption.
Meanwhile, committing yourself to being a lifelong learner is a wonderful way to improve your cognitive health. Learning new information and new skills is like working out your brain. And these exercises can improve cognitive function, increase your attention span, improve your memory, improve your reasoning skills and reduce your risk of developing dementia.
Wow! Humanity invented a surface that acts like a natural surface!
Finally, Corporate Finance Institute notes that constantly learning can boost your confidence and improve your networking opportunities. If you know that you’re knowledgeable about a wide range of topics, you’ll never have to worry about speaking to others about them. Plus, the more info you have, the easier it’ll be for you to make connections with other people.
Investing in their people and country, not just lining multi-millionaires/billionaires' pockets...
However, producing hydrogen requires energy and the most common processes DO create CO2
If you have a goal of learning something new every day but aren’t quite sure where to start, BetterUp has some tips. First, they recommend determining what you want to learn. Whether that’s a new language, information about a specific topic or how to play an instrument, have a goal in mind. Then, set small goals for yourself to ensure that you’re on the right track. For example, you may want to study for at least 15 minutes every day. Or perhaps you’ll dedicate half of your Sunday to practicing your instrument. Whatever you do, make sure you start to form a habit.
BetterUp also suggests having multiple mediums for learning. YouTube is a great resource, but you might want to listen to podcasts or audiobooks when you’re on the go. Maybe you can also find a local Facebook group or community to ask questions to. Find many ways to surround yourself with information, and eventually, it will start to stick.
As you continue on your learning journey, don’t forget to reflect every now and then. It’s easy to feel like you’re not making any progress if you’re improving slowly. But your effort hasn’t been in vain. Every once in a while, take some time to test your knowledge and recognize how much you’ve learned. This might also inspire you to come up with some new goals. If you’re already conversational in the language you’ve been learning, maybe it’s time to find some native speakers to talk to, so you can improve your grammar even more. There’s always more learning to be done!
Norway has a lot of really cool things on here, I'm impressed and jealous lol.
People get access codes for sleeping capsules in the Netherlands through partnerships with local housing groups and social services. Outreach workers use QR codes and a mobile app to schedule stays, manage check-ins, and provide assistance to registered users, who are typically individuals experiencing homelessness. These are also available in Norway and possibly other places but that’s as far as my research interest went.

Excellent! My youthful experiments will keep me alive for a few more decades ....
That would be a heck of a lot of weight to move around ... one 100W panel weighs about 10Kilos.
Fantastic idea but I think in a lot of countries they would sadly get vandalised
Concrete and plants ... not a good combination. Plants over time do a lot of damage to concrete.
This is a great idea. I just looked into for a very long time though and there are a lot of factories being refurbished by many different architects for different purposes each. Most are architectural displays kinda of like living portfolios. There are some that are giant single family homes. There is one that will have 27 units to rent or buy and another that is transformed in to an artist “colony”, is the best word I can think of. So yes all of these things are true but in different locations and they don’t appear to be free by any means.
I’m one of them. 42 and never been in a relationship in my adult life, despite having a s**t ton of friends, Romance just never worked out for me. 🤷🏻♀️There is still time, but the older I get the more set in my way I become, and I already have pretty much everything else in my life beside a romantic partner, so unless someone is gonna enhance what I already have, I’ll be single til I croak…
Street lighting at night, especially in cities, disrupts nocturnal wildlife.
China is kicking the USA's b**t with their innovation. We're so busy trying to live in the heyday of the past, that we're not moving forward.
Although I'm dubious, this does sound like a great idea. After all, we know how cows make milk and how we make cheese from it, so we should be able to reproduce the process.
See the ACTUAL reports on this. A handful of mosquitoes were found, and nothing whatsoever to do with warming. It pays well to look at the sources of such news reports.
That is not a representation of the aircraft ... more of a pipe dream. The real aircraft also carries ONE ...
I don't think it's game changing at all. Expensive, but at least viable. Evaporation is cheaper, simpler and more environmentally friendly, but takes more space (they do have a lot, mind). I would work on that before filling the world with landfill in a few years.
The bulk of Taiwan's chip manufacturing capability was destroyed in an earthquake. It's taken them decades to recover.
I have a feeling not a lot of people are going to want to eat their bus tickets.
Lies and misleading image. Ringwoodite mineral store of water, not in any way an ocean
Actually I am seriously concerned by this. The environmental movement has become so warped that people actually believe that you can repeal the law of conservation of energy somehow, and get duped into believing such nonsense. It's a viral social media clickbait article. Don't believe everything you read on BP. Abraham Lincoln said that.
Domestic sheep need to be sheared, or else they end up carrying tens of pounds of excess wool thar interferes with their ability to walk, see, and excrete.
If only this was true. Sadly, whilst there has been a lot of break throughs in cold fusion over the last two years (including very real progress but the Canadians) we are still some years away from having industry viable child fusion.
What a wonderful, fact-free offering! FFS can we get articles with actual facts rather than AI and wishes! This was mostly BS!
Mostly, yes. There was the odd true thing in there, but it was mostly wishful thinking.
Load More Replies...All these AI generated pictures... Is the entire article pure fiction?
I think it largely is... Unfortunately. Science fiction that may become fact.
Load More Replies...TBF none of this is original= BP content, just copied from an AI-generated Facebook page. What makes is worse is that there are so many requotes of its content across social media, by real people who've not even given a moment's thought as to the veracity of the claims.
