I love lifelong learners and try to surround myself with them. The subject doesn’t matter in the least; it’s the consistent habit of learning new things that counts. Did you just learn how to sew a button? Did you just pick up some techniques for better public speaking? Did you just read about the history of National Parks? It’s all good! ALL of it! I have a printout of the beautiful Merlin quote from T.H. White’s “The Once And Future King”.

“The best thing for being sad […] is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”

This is a great question to ask of literally anyone. Your friends, yourself, a potential new hire, your grandparent… This one is no-fail!
