Learn for Life

Ever think about enrolling in a course at a local college just for the sheer joy of learning something new? There is something to be said for one’s personal pursuit for knowledge, with no other motivation than just to tickle your brain cells and expand your mind. But it often takes some doing to convince some people to enroll in a course just for the fun of learning.

These days, most people are acutely aware of the benefits of a college education. Careers, life choices, income – all depend on formal preparedness for a competitive national and global workforce. But what happens after formal college learning is done? Is your post-college education limited to television and radio and in newspapers, stimulating conversation with peers, career trade journals, or reading the latest non-fiction masterpiece? Or is there something more?

A local college may offer courses that can broaden your horizons and expand your personal awareness, such as:

  • Digital Photography Basics
  • Decorate (Or Dress) For Success
  • Pet First Aid
  • Learn to Draw Basics
  • Become a Human Lie Detector
  • Introduction Sign Language
  • Activate Your Ability to Become a Healer
  • How to Rollerblade

And the list goes on and on. The point is to identify something you’re interested in learning more about and go out and do it! To learn something new, you have to get up off the sofa, and who knows, you may meet like-minded people and make new friends! Sounds like a win-win situation all around – for you and your brain!

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How do you "catch" a cold?
Simply lower your resistance by avoiding the proper rest and exercise, eating lots of sugar and junk food, putting up with emotional stress and neglecting your nervous system by avoiding your chiropractor. You won't have to catch a cold because it will catch you!
