[00:06.62]Lesson 1 Life-long Learning
[00:10.52]The Importance of Lifelong Learning
[00:13.97]Work and study today are very different
[00:16.38]from what they were like 20 years ago.
[00:19.15]In the past,people often worked in the same job
[00:22.54]from graduation still retirement¹.
[00:25.15]Today,however,everyone needs to learn new
[00:27.65]things constantly on the job,
[00:29.89]and it is common practice for people
[00:31.54]to go back to school from time to time,
[00:34.16]in order to keep up
[00:35.04]with the fast changing world.
[00:38.23]Changing jobs has also become common practice
[00:40.62]for many people,
[00:41.88]as they aim to enrich² their work experiences,
[00:45.04]develop new skills and meet new challenges.
[00:48.57]In today's world of constant innovation³,
[00:51.04]you can't afford to think
[00:51.95]that you have finished with your studies.
[00:54.98]If you don't want to fall behind
[00:56.36]in today's competitive⁴ job market,
[00:58.70]you have to commit yourself
[01:00.11]to life-long learning.
[01:03.40]Effective life-long learning
[01:04.63]is not only a matter of collecting
[01:06.54]formal qualifications.
[01:08.63]It's also about forming habits
[01:10.31]that help you study,
[01:11.76]and developing attitudes
[01:12.85]that make you receptive to learning.
