There is no age for learning - Vaibhav Jaiswal

                                                      ‘There is no age for learning’


 “Wisdom comes not from age, but from education and learning"- Antonio Chekhov

Learning is a continuous process, and a true learner always seeks avenues to learn from anybody and everybody. Education has become crucial for all human beings. Everyone desires to receive the best education because life has no age, but learning has no end. Learning is beneficial for individuals regardless of their age. While all else may crumble, the knowledge acquired through education endures until one's passing. Individuals without formal education are now embarking on the journey of acquiring knowledge.

Learning is not only about gaining formal education; it means understanding society, people, and many other things. Therefore, we can say that learning has no end. 

The notion that education is valuable at any age and that it transcends the limits of time is a powerful one. Learning extends beyond academic settings; it encompasses understanding society, people, and various aspects of life. This broader perspective on learning highlights its endless nature.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

The oak is called the king of trees,

The aspen quivers in the breeze.

The poplar grows up straight and tall, 

The peach trees spread along the walls,

The sycamore gives pleasant shade.

Myths of Retirement - Shubhangi Kashyap

Retirement myths include the beliefs that: Expenses will decrease, tax concerns will vanish, and every day will feel like a vacation. Work will cease entirely, and Social Security and Medicare will fully cover all financial needs. Retirement means the end of work: It is true that retirement signifies the end of active employment, but productivity remains non-energetic, and there is a gradual decline in health.

It's crucial for individuals to plan for retirement based on their specific circumstances, considering factors like financial goals, health, and personal preferences. Consulting with a financial advisor and staying informed about retirement options can help dispel myths and create a more realistic and satisfying retirement experience.
