Personal Development

March 8th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Okay YBPs, now that you’ve landed your dream job (or the job that’s on the path to your dream job), you have a little more time for yourself. Don’t just use it to catch up on the latest tv shows, conquer your new Wii game, or make extra deposits into your sleep bank (which, by the way, you can NEVER catch up on). Use your extra time for some personal self-development. Remember that book you’ve been dying to read? Now you can. Or that course you’ve wanted to take? It’s time. If you’re anything like me, education was a necessary distraction that pushed LIFE out of the way. But, even if you’ve earned your Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s, or PhD (or any other degree in between), it’s never an excuse to stop learning. Now, for a lot of professions, you will have to take continuing ed courses to stay up on what’s changing in your field. But I’m not talking about continuing ed courses for your profession, I am talking about continuing ed courses for YOU! And thanks to the Internet, you can take that photography class, brush up on your French, or learn how to draft grant proposals - a very useful skill. Ed2go offers online courses on anything from preparing for the GRE to web page design to photography. With courses starting at about $55.00, Ed2go gives you the opportunity to continue learning - in the comfort of your own home. So get out there and keep learning! Knowledge is power.

    I have finally stop coming up with excuses. If I have an hour for "America's Next Top Model" I have at least that to read a book. Plus, because learning, reading or volunteering are edifying and rewarding in themselves (whereas TV sometimes makes me feel like a lazy bumb) they have an amazing ability to actually bring more energy and motivation to the other demands of life.
