There will come a point in your life when you want to learn because… well, you just want to learn. Gone are the days when my motivation to study is driven by getting perfect test scores, high grades, fancy degrees and numerous academic awards. And by “study”, I mean going through tons of memorization, a number of sleepless nights cramming for exams and accomplishing every requirement, and other exhausting and stressful forms of “shallow” learning.

Now, I want to learn for learning’s sake. All the time, efforts and resources will not go to waste and will be spent in continuously improving myself. I was given the ability to share knowledge and the capacity to learn and there’s nothing more fulfilling than being able to utilize them in helping others experience learning, improve themselves and succeed in life.
