5. Skinner: Learning That Lasts a Lifetime

"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

When people think of education, they tend to think of facts and figures learned in school. However, it is often the methods, principles, and inquiry process that lie behind knowledge that really matter.

As B. F. Skinner says, the sum of our knowledge goes far beyond simple textbook learning.

The learning process never ends, even long after the days of school are over. Never stop challenging yourself to explore new information, new ways of doing things, and different ways of thinking about the world.
