Solution
We often come across people who misunderstand learning with academic degrees. A big chunk of our population fails to understand that knowledge transcends beyond formal education. Learning is not merely seeking information; it is about assimilating knowledge from every single life experience. You must have heard the saying, 'if you are not moving, you are dead'. Similarly, 'if you are not learning you are not moving'. If you do not make an effort to be a better human being then you are actually not learning anything from life's endless experiences.
You may also have a question of how can one always keep learning? Well, observation, interpretation, contemplation, and self-evaluation are the keys to constant learning. Also, we should share our knowledge, our perspectives, and notions with others and encourage others to add their perspectives to our process of learning.
Thus, the sentence 'once you start learning there is no end to learning' pumps in an encouraging message to keep moving ahead in the pursuit of knowledge.
