Learning New Things in Retirement

Have you stopped trying to learn new things? When did you Stop? Why?

Many of us, especially after retirement, start learning new things only passively rather than actively seeking for new knowledge. Passive learning means that your brain hasn't totally burned out, but its getting close to it! You are no longer interested in seeking new things to learn. Your brain is a fine instrument and needs to be used to remain sharp. Start using it again!

Where should you look to find these new areas of knowledge? Try some of the ideas listed below.

1- Search the web - type in e-zines on your search engine and you'll find hundreds of articles
on every imaginable subject.
2- Join the library-again!
3- Sign up for a course - academic or something hands on like wood working.
4- Anything that keeps your mind stimulated!
