Socratic Seminar

How to Become a Lifelong Learner

Abraham Lincoln said, "I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." This opens the premise that learning is a daily adventure that one carries and explores throughout life. Learning doesn't stop just because school does. People who are truly effective generally did not get that way by sitting still, they apply themselves to constant learning and competing against themselves to grow and learn day by day. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day, you will not only enjoy what you discover, but you will be able to apply your knowledge and become a teacher to future generations.

http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Lifelong-Learner

Bring a website address or a book title and a quote from what you “learned”, to share with our Socratic seminar about how you will become a lifelong learner.
