Reflecting on Daniel’s statement, I could not agree more. No matter what your motivation is; whether it be business, community service, medicine, research, science or humanities – the ability to engage in continuous learning is absolutely paramount to any endeavor.

Learning does not need to be formalised; the greatest learning potential takes place in the workplace with up to 70% of all learning occurring on-the-job. What is required is an inquisitive mind and the ability to translate learning into action. Adult learners are really responsible for their own learning and should be seeking to engage in genuine learning interventions.
