Learning Knows No Age

Have you ever heard of a grandmother learning with elementary school children? of course not, right? Maybe that is what underlies a grandmother named Miu Xiuxian in China 102 years old as a student studying in the world's oldest primary school. Not all people have the motivation and desire to learn should be a child.
That's part of my story that learning does not have to know the age. Learning it is the essence of life, past orders not know, could be anything, anyone, and anywhere. We can live as we learn, not only at school or college, after graduate even though continue to learn, to grow up, tolerance, understanding self and others, compassion and love, interpret and achieve a happy life. It is not a requirement to learn at a young age, but also it is the need of all time. We need to learn, and we must learn from the cradle to death before. This life is to learn and continue learning throughout life. Not everyone can get an education, because of cost limitations and the lack of public interest for learning in formal education. If we glance at how little the government announced a 9-year compulsory education. Awareness of the public to learn about, for example, can be seen from the surrounding environment. We all know that learning is the process of changing an individual's behavior for the better of course. So, we have to be aware from an early age that education was necessary in accordance with the understanding of learning itself. Hopefully our dreams can come true that all people can get an education from an early age.
