Lifelong learner

Ever discover that you are doing something all along that suddenly seems to be the latest buzz word or catch phrase? I guess that would describe me and lifelong learning. Many if not all of the habits they describe I firmly subscribe to.

I believe the day I stop learning, I die. One of my favorite sayings is "I learned something new today!" I say that with pride and it is one of the reasons I love my job. Besides the flexibility and variety it affords me I honestly do not go a day without learning something new. It may not be big (some days it is really huge) but if it is new and helps me on my path in life then I'm all for it.

I really liked the part where it said - teach you'll learn as well. As one who has done training here at Howard County Library I couldn't agree more. It never fails that someone in my class teaches me something about the subject or my teaching style or about me. I guess it is one of the reason I enjoy training so much...another opportunity to learn!
