Learning is addictive.

From the moment we enter this world, we are accumulating and processing information. Initially our parents provide the framework for our understanding of this world and they teach us the skills we need in order for us to grow and mature into adults. Schools, libraries, museums and universities continue this learning process by providing acedemic structure to our learning. They show us what to learn, and how to analize what we have learnt. But where does the desire to commit to life long learning come from?
Some people are perfectly happy never reading anything more challenging than the local paper whereas others leave the library with a vast assortment of books on a wide range of subjects.
When I was 5 yrs old, I fell in love with my teacher. I thought that she was the most wonderful human being ever born in fact I did think for a while that she could be an angel. Why did she make such an impact on me? She taught me to read. I soon discovered the magical world of The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton and spent many hours lost in the never ending branches of the magical faraway tree. My love of learning has been shaped and encouraged over the years by many wonderful teachers, mentors and friends. I love process of learning, of gathering information from various sources and absorbing it all. My new learning passion Ancient China and I am quite tempted to learn the language.
So for me learning is addictive, the more I learn the more I realise I don't know. What a challenge!!
