I often ponder and think that our vast world so much in store for us to explore and learn. But of course, since many of us cannot afford that there are a lot of ways to learn all about it. Sometimes I think that perhaps there is no need to learn everything because what is the use of it especially if I don't have the time. But still knowing a few things at hand seems really worthwhile and it makes you become aware how wonderful and how cruel are world is both ways.
However the want to know more always haunts me and I wish I know more about our world more. Do you feel the same or you just don't bother and it just choose to live as we are.

You're right.There are still so many things we need to learn.The more we learn,the more we realize,that there are still so many things,we don't know.The best way to learn is through experience as long as it's not harmful to us.We also need to be open minded,daily conversation with people even those we think are not knowledgeable enough opens up many gates up knowledge.You'll be surprise what you can get from a conversation with a farmer,laborer,security guards and the likes.They have lots of wisdom in them which is better than those written books in their fields.Recently, I just have craving for knowledge and try to research the things I don't know on the internet.Of course myLot offers us so much informations from various sources.Keep on learning.

That is very nice. Everyone in the world even the beggars are important and has their own interesting stories to tell. Each one of us is a part of our world and we have our respective share in making the world go round and beautiful. Yes, let us keep on learning. As always said, knowledge is power.

i sometimes think the same too. Beecause as they say, life is short. I think explore more about this world and enjoy everything we have here while we're still living. I would like to explore all areas of the world someday. And I would like to learn as much as possible right now and enjoy the whole world and my whole life.

Read. That's how I've learned a fraction of what I knew in my life. But not all people are fond of it and would rather do something else. There's always NatGeo and Discovery Channel also. If you don't have the time to be an adventurer yourself, you can always watch somebody else wrestle a bear or eat live bugs on cable television:)

Yes, that is one way to learn and the most economical. Just like my four-year old's poem that she just recited at school, "Travel Through Books". it was a five-paragraph poem ending with "The world you see has many nooks, if you will love and read more books." Exploring the world through books.

If I want to know more about the world I could travel and meet the people of other countries. Another way to learn about the world is to read the history of the same or the books where I can learn about other people and their manners. I find thrilling to learn about other cultures of this world. By the way there are some movies where you can learn, by watching them, about traditions of other people.

Oh I want to learn more so much more about our world. I would love to travel to certain places especialy where my ancesters live. In it's place I go on line and just learn as much as I can and go to the library. Oh and I know people who have visited other countries and I LOVE to hear about their journey and what they have planned next. I am not bitter that I can not go on theses said trips, but it would be nice if I could afford it.

A friend once say, we work to earn, but not all earnings should be devoted to savings or buying personal stuff... part of it should also be devoted to our well being, to learn more. This is why people travel, buy books and magazines, enroll to some classes (like photography and cooking), and hone their hobbies.
I guess the easiest way to learn more is to read and watch. Personally, I do learn from watching television, through shows about animals, places, and lifestyle. Through blogging, I get to interact with different people and learn more about them and their country (if they're not Filipino like I am).
All of us really want to learn more about things, I guess that's just human nature.
