The Process of learning

What do you mean by learning? When do we start learning and stop learning. When can we say that we have learned everything?

When I was in school, I used to think of the day when I will learn everything and just do things which I have learned. When I reached college, I understood the purpose of learning and really wanted to master the topics that i was interested. During school days, I learned for the sake of learning and to be very frank, I did it for the sake of my parents and teachers.

In the real world, we are always learners, we learn new things everyday. No individual can learn everything even if he/she lives 100 years. I did my software studies 10 years back and I thought I learnt everything when I received my certification. But that is not true, I just learnt concepts and I am still learning new things everyday. You learn new things everyday with your experience. New inventions and discoveries comes everyday, we read and see new things, we need to understand what those things are and we need to learn about that.

What I mean to say about learning is that learning is a process that will never end, if you are a person who do new things. Every trial will teach you something and you learn something new. Share your knowledge with others, you are not going to lose anything, but your contribution would help others in the process of learning.
