Healthy Tips: Make Learning a Lifelong Habit

Today’s Health Tip:

Learn something new: Keep your mind active by learning new things.

When I was in grade school my mom would ask me each day, “Ray, what did you learn today?” Every once in a while I replied, “Nothing.” She’d give me a look and said, “You must have learned something.” Well, I wasn’t going to tell her what my friend Charlie told me, so I thought about what happened in the classroom and said something. When I finished she’d always say, “Make sure you learn something every day.” That was good advice then. It’s good advice now. I think the more difficult the learning curve, the better it is for us. When learning is difficult, we have to concentrate. We have to be willing to fail and start over. We have to have patience with ourselves. And, we have to apply one of my core principles, NEVER QUIT.
