Option 1: It is important to keep learning throughout life.
Learning is an amazing thing it is a means of allowing one to evolve and expand your knowledge. No expert knows everything about his chosen career. Discoveries occur daily that lead to a new understanding of how our world works. Whatever your chosen field, if your mind is closed to learning about new breakthroughs, your worth to your company is limited. You need to have an open mind and be willing to absorb new knowledge as it comes along. A willingness to learn also means being willing to throw out those antiquated theories that could keep you from advancing through life. All of the greatest discoveries have been made by people that continued their studies throughout their life. Men like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein made their greatest discoveries when they were not in school. My father if he had continued his learning would not have had to go back and re learn things that he should have already know.  Would one believe that it is still important to continue learning throughout life? My father also has 

 Many of the greatest entities that one can learn will not be taught in school but outside of school. Things you learn in school only help prepare you for the much more important things that are to come. Issac Newton stated that "there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science". Sir Isaac Newton is regarded as being one of the most influential scientists ever. Newton was an English physicist and mathematician. In 1679, Newton returned to his work on (celestial) mechanics, gravitation and its effect on the orbits of planets, with reference to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Newton wanted to be constantly expanding his thinking as well as make more discoveries to further the human race.


 Albert Einstein once said if we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research, now would it? Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics quantum. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = MC2 (which is now known as one of “the world's most famous equation"), he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory. Einstein just like Newton was known to be the greatest mind of his time. Einstein wanted to continue his learning for most of the same reasons that Newton wanted too. 

A University education right now is ground into a teenagers head that it is the most important thing you need; if you don’t have it you will not make it anywhere in life. Although this may be partially true once you get your education you must continue expanding your knowledge or you will become boring and won’t enjoy life for what it is. My dad is a prime example of this he didn't got get any sort of post-secondary education and he decide to work extremely hard and never really thought about the future. He slowly began moving up the ranks, learning new and interesting things as he went. Although when he was offered his position that he now currently has he had to go back and take a university course. This was very difficult for him because he had stopped reading, doing math, or even thinking about science. When one stops learning new things that part of their brain shuts down and is very hard to re fire and get it back into high gear. Now the pressure was on if he didn't pass this course he wouldn't get the promotion. One could only imagine how hard it would be to re fire that part of your brain and try to learn all these new concepts which had never been taught to him. Although this being said if he had kept on learning a few little things every day that part of the brain might have not shut down and his courses would have been much easier on him.

Expanding the knowledge of humans throughout life is something that we should strive for its something that we should always want. To keep learning new things in life to keep exploring allows the human race to grow and develop, to try and understand why we are here. Learning throughout life isn't just important for society but it is also very important to the single person. It keeps your mind alert and sharp and will allow you to live a longer happier life.
