Most people consider that the only learning one can get is the formal education that they get at school. We are always told during early age to go to school in order to get a good education. However, this statement is not far from the truth since the resulting qualifications are important especially when securing employment (Tessler et al, 2017). However, going to school is only one type of formal education as there are many other opportunities one can take to further their knowledge and develop the skills that they need to survive in life. Lifelong learning is one of them as it can help us in enhancing our understanding of the world around us, and provides us with more and better opportunities that will eventually help us improve the quality of life that we live.

Lifelong is connected to this week’s material since lifelong enhances social inclusion just like this week’s material. Just like this week’s material, lifelong offers an opportunity for personal development and an active citizenship. Learning is no longer considered as formal education that can only be got in schools as there are many avenues for getting knowledge. There are also many places that one can apply the acquired knowledge rather than just the workplace. Regarding one lifelong aspect that I need to still develop, at the moment it is difficult for me to settle on one as there are many aspects of lifelong that I still need to develop in order to better my living. To me, the only way to thrive is by learning new skills in life every day. Lifelong learning connects to achieving my career goals since it always motivates me to achieve even more. Learning new things is often key to regain interest in the job one is doing and it is crucial in boosting one's confidence. Lifelong learning is essential in helping me to be more productive and a happy employee.

To me, lifelong is a process where one gains valuable skills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual. Lifelong is key in developing the general life of an individual, so to me, it is something that cannot be ignored and everyone needs to undertake lifelong learning in order to live a better life. To me, there is no specific assignment or presentation that made me learn new skills as to me, learning new skills is something that I do on a daily basis. Regarding my organization, I have one question that I would love to ask. The question is; is it possible for me to change the organization that I have been researching? This is because every week it is becoming harder to find new things about the organization.
