Becoming lifelong learners
To become lifelong learners, we may find it hard to break away from the traditional education paradigm. One way to unshackle our self-education is to grab hold of the opportunities for unbounded learning.
- Bounded learning is based on a fixed curriculum and contains specific educational outcomes.
- Unbounded learning embraces ongoing personal growth that is fuelled by continuous education. It is based on strategies and tools that foster curiosity.

- Serendipity. By allowing your education to branch off in any direction, you may discover new areas of interest that you could not have predicted.
- You will not be restricted to specific sources or formats but can explore concepts from various angles (podcasts, books from an expert, YouTube etc.).

How to unbound your education
