Becoming A Life-Long Student

The risk of a university degree is that it might make you believe you already know something. I studied filmmaking and, because I graduated, I often feel arrogant, as if my certificate has given me a lot of knowledge about valuable skills like storytelling. In reality, there is still so much I need to learn in order to apply storytelling in my business.

One of the main reasons I want to improve my storytelling skills is because I want to make my writings better and market my digital products in more compelling ways through stories. I also have a Master's degree in Marketing, but the world is moving so fast that even with a degree I still feel as a beginner at it.

I truly believe self-education is the best path towards learning. The danger of university is it makes you feel you are done learning once you graduate. While in reality, graduation means that real learning is just about to start.

I've recently been investing more time and money in my self-education. I have bought expensive courses and have spent a lot of time learning from people who have achieved what I want to achieve.

I graduated five years ago. Still, I feel like I'm just getting started learning. Being a student of life is a never-ending process.
