What quotes, stories, books or campaigns do you know about lifelong learning
Discussing AP55
There are many quotes about lifelong learning, and one of them goes, “Never too old to learn.” It means that when we want to learn something, just start to learn it and make it happen, no matter how old we are. Another famous one is from Marcel Proust, which is “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” It stresses the value of changing the way we look at things.
