    Is there any limit to learning?

    Learning is a lifelong process. Those who are interested in acquiring knowledge and learning can do it at any age. There is no bar for learning neither it is difficult to do so. People having interest in learning can do so at their convenient time.
    So far so good, but a question arises what is the limit of learning for a person? How much one can learn? Is't it that the human mind will saturate at a certain point and after that it will not accept new things and learning? Though it will differ from individual to indivisual but there is a point in the life of a person when one feels that enough is enough and one should make a stop.
    Do you also feel so? Are you are still in a stage of relentless acquiring of knowledge? Please share your experiences.

    Learning is a continuous process. It will start from the day we are in our mother's womb and it will stop only when we take our last breath and our heart stops beating.
    I think there is no limit to learning. But it depends on the interest of the individual. I don't think that our minds will have a saturation point. The only thing is some points we learned earlier may get deleted from our minds or kept as archives and new information will be there fresh in our minds.
    An individual may feel enough is enough only with a particular subject or aspect. We may stop learning a subject but we may start learning another subject. After completing my B.Sc, I stopped learning Physics and Mathematics and I decided to continue my learning in chemistry subject. I continue learning chemistry and now I am trying to learn more about writing skills and related matters.
    In the same way, people will continue their learning and develop new skills. Earlier we don't know how to transfer money digitally. But now many of us learned the same and using the same for many transactions.

    I agree with the author that there is no limit to learning. It is said that we have to learn in the grave also. How much you learn depends on the use of your brain. Every human has a brain of 1400 cc. But how much we use it, depends on us. You should develop thinking skills if you want to use your brain properly.
    Honesty is the best policy.

    There is no limit for learning. Only thing is that if a person is not interested in it then that is the end of it.
    Many people are interested in acquiring knowledge and they work hard for it. They have a passion for learning. They are the people who learn and also help others to learn. For them learning is a lifelong process.
    So this will differ from person to person and only those who are having interest and passion for learning will pursue it.

    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    No, there is no limit to learning. However, a single element is the curiosity and this positive attribute must exist within a learner. That can create a significant change in the minds of the learners.
    It is said that the kids are the faster learners since they can retain the skills at a fast pace and with a little practice, they can pick up anything thing for which they are inclined to learn.
    It is said late Rabindra Nath Tagore, a novel prize winner for his great creation Puspanjali apart from a lot of distinguished novels and fictions started learning paintings at his prime age of eighthy and he showed his lovers that there is no age for learning a thing provided curiosity is there for learning for an art. Age is no bar for learning if there is a zest for the same.

    We all say there is no limit to learn. But, in actuality, almost all of us associate learning with acquiring degree(s) and on the basis of the degree(s), we try to get a good job for a grand future. So, all of us limit the learning process to earn a living.

    This is bitter truth.

    According to the sky is the limit for learning. We are learning something in our daily life from any meeting persons. This learning are equally for 'to do' and 'not to do'. One saint said I am learning 'not to worry about anything' from child. Kabir told once that we can learn discipline from ants. When we see people who talk with harsh words, we have to learn from them that we should never talk like that. So, day by day we are learning like this.

    One should not think that learning means getting degrees or improving our qualifications. Today I have gone through a thread about the Keto diet by Partha Sir. That is a learning for me. He has given useful information and people who are thinking of controlling their food habits can get good inputs from the same. Like this, I think we will be learning something or other every day.
    Even a job holder these days should continue his learnings and upgrade his knowledge to sustain and compete with others in this competitive world.
