Lifelong Learning

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." - Henry Ford

Just because you've left school, there's no reason to stop learning. In fact, in many ways it's a better time to learn. Lots of people on part-time courses while working are more motivated at work and study. Maybe you regret not trying very hard at school - It's never too late! See below for helpful links on lifelong learning.
