Are you a lifelong learner?

That’s a strange thing to ask. Anyone who has stopped learning is either brain-dead or dearly departed. Everyone is learning something new all the time, even if they don’t know it, or show it.

More importantly, however, the lifelong cycle of learning must also include unlearning. If you’re not unlearning, you are dogmatic, and that is truly a great sin, even though it is not written in sacred text.

The rarest skill isn’t intelligence; it’s changing your mind after learning something new.
