Therefore, to be a lifelong learner must acquire lifelong learning. How can lifelong learners acquire lifelong learning? The answer is only by reading. To increase the knowledge you need to learn or read authenticated sources. Interesting reading should be grown from childhood to love reading to the end of life. Buy a newspaper or search for information and share information using cutting-edge technology. It can produce a lifelong student and yield lifelong rewards.
3.2 Teach others
We don 't need to join the teaching profession to help people learn. Teaching others what we know will also help ensure that we really understand something and it 's a real test of our knowledge. There truly is no shortage to the benefits of knowledge sharing, continuous learning and the rise of the knowledge economy. These values level playing fields, break down established barriers and afford all the opportunity to pursue personal and collective growth regardless of social and economic standing. The power of knowledge reigns supreme. While we cannot be expected to all have equal life experiences, we can share the knowledge gained from our individual experiences to create a culture of

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Some people die at 25 but are not buried till 75.” Franklin’s quote relates to This Is Water in the fact that David foster Wallace discusses ways on how to not die once a person has finished their schooling. The goal is how to wake up and realize that thought this day will be the same as the last it will differ based on how I wish to look at it; not as a boring old routine that countless people follow every day, but a means to an end. Towards one day waking up and realizing that the hard work has done something, retirement. The education people will or have received will teach them how to think, so that we realize not everything is as self-centered as people once believed it was.
Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.
Houle (1989), emphasizes that every professional has a need to be able to carry out their duties according to the highest possible standards of character and competence and one way to meet this is to engage in a lifelong study and to achieve its greatest potential, continuing education must fulfill the promise to its name and be truly be continuing and not casual, sporadic or opportunistic. This fact means essentially that it must be self-directed and each professional must be the ultimate monitor of his or her own learning, controlling the stable or shifting design of its continuity. Houle further argues that continuing education must be based not only on content oriented goals of keeping up with the new development; it must also be designed to facilitate changes in life patterns or career lines. Accordingly, Fryer (1997) states that learning at the workplace will need to accommodate the needs and interests of a variety of stakeholders, including employees, employers, customers, government and providers.

Whilst the knower’s perspective is always essential in the pursuit of knowledge, it’s essence is greater in some areas of knowledge than others. Perspective shapes both what we pursue in knowledge and it affects how we interpret pursued knowledge. Whilst the latter has greater influence over subjective areas such as the arts and history, the former affects even the pursuit of knowledge in more objective areas such as the natural sciences and maths. What’s more, for knowledge to be knowledge, there must be a knower. Each individual knower gains knowledge through the ways of knowing reason and emotion (amongst others); these ways of knowing shape and are shaped by our perspective.
The unique aspects which are most salient for me are, first, the Andragogy theory (model); the idea of adult learners learning through enriched opportunities to collaborate in what they are learning and why they are learning it. The authors note, if the adult learner understands the value of what they are learning and it can be relatable to prior life experiences, they tend to be more motivated and retain the information. With that in mind, the importance of “climate setting” to provide mutual respect by actively collaboration with the adult learner in planning and the direction of lessons(Merriam, & Bierena, 2014). Second, the relationship of experiences and learning; how knowledge can be learned in the context of making connections to their life experiences.
But, among all the above factors, the teacher has the most important role for efficient and quality learning. Markley (2011) stated that Good and qualified teachers are essential for efficient functioning of educational systems and for enhancing the quality of learning. A good teacher and actions to be taken on his part in the classroom play a vital role in provoking effective and efficient learning on the part of the students. Parents trust their children to be taught and educated at school, to be hoped that they will become good and qualified human beings. A teacher takes an important role in motivating the students to get their success in their life.
