The purpose of life is to live it, to taste the experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. You cannot help but learn more as you take the world into your hands. Take it up reverently, for it is an old piece of clay, with millions of thumbprints on it. Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.
