“活到老，学到老”这句话对于我们来说并不陌生，而在毕业工作之后，其实就不太花费太多时间在学习上了，而学习真的是对自己充电的过程，我们下面就来看看坚持学习的十大理由。

　　There have always been people who have believed that lifelonglearning is a worthwhile process. Increasingly, scientific researchis proving them correct and technology is making it easier –adults can now take online college classes for the rest of theirlives. For example, a recent article in The Atlantic reported thatwhen individuals learn new tasks, they strengthen the part oftheir brain used in learning the task. Even better, this process makes the neighboring areas of thebrain more resilient as well. This means that learning can make what you already know stronger,too.

　　一直都有人坚持一种说法：终生学习是非常有价值的过程。随着社会的发展，科学研究证明，这种说法是正确的，科技技术也让学习变得更方便。如今，成年人可以利用空闲时间参加网络大学课程。比如，最近《大西洋月刊》一篇报道讲到：当一个人在学习新的东西时，他们会加强大脑的学习任务。更好的是，这个过程能让大脑相邻的部分变得更灵活。也意味着，学习还能巩固你已经掌握的东西。

　　So, without further ado, here are ten more reasons why you should always keep learning:

　　所以，言归正传，以下十条理由足以说明你为何需要坚持学习：

　　1. Fight Boredom.Most people feel bored when they aren’t challenged and boredom is thenumber one cause of bad decisions. If you’re constantly learning new things, you’ll be less prone todisinterest. And, in today’s world, with TED conferences and the Khan Academy, there are plentyof opportunities to enrich yourself.

　　2.让你的大脑保持健康。2010年一项加利福尼亚大学在加州做的调查显示，学习会使你的大脑维持在一个较高水品。就像你需要锻炼身体肌肉和心血管系统一样，你也需要锻炼大脑，让它保持在一个最佳状体。

　　3. Grow Your Career. If you learn new work-related skills, you’ll be more likely to get a promotionor raise. And, with the rise of online education, you can even enroll in certified programs that allowyou to learn and improve your career during your off-hours.

　　4. Model Positive Behavior for Your Kids. If you expect your children to focus in school andtake the time to learn their lessons, you should exhibit the same commitment to self-improvementin your daily life.

　　4.成为孩子积极行为的榜样。如果你希望自己的孩子在学校里专心学习，并且把时间花在自己的功课上，你应该在日常生活中，树立自我提升的标榜。

　　6.跟上时代的节奏。如果你不知道最新的时尚，有趣的事情和最新趋势，你就与世界脱轨了。尝试新的事物，学习新的观点，就能更好的了解你身边的事。

　　7.提高你的乐趣。学习不是一件苦差事。如果你对烹饪感兴趣，研究新的食谱并且在烹饪的过程也会增加乐趣。从而让你更欣赏自己的兴趣。

　　8. Look at the World with Fresh Eyes. Scientists believe that much of what is called creativity issimply the ability to apply skills learned in one setting to problems in another setting. If you’realways learning, this means that when you face a familiar problem, you may be able to come at itwith an unorthodox solution, based on your new knowledge.

　　8.用更新的眼光看世界。科学认为很多所谓的创造力，简单来说，就是在一种情形下学习到的技能去解决另外一种情形下的困难。如果你一直学习，那么当你面对相似的困难时，你就能根据自己所学，用非常规方法解决困难。

　　9. Keep Abreast of Technology. Computers become obsolete within a few years. If you’re notconstantly learning new things about technology, you’re falling behind. Which means you’ll missout on social, business and technological opportunities, simply because you didn’t keep up.

　　9.跟上先进技术的步伐。未来几年里，电脑都会过时。如果你不坚持学习新的科技技术，你肯定会落后。这就意味着你会抓不住社交，商业和技术机会，其原因就是因为你都不懂这些技术。

　　10. All the Greats are Doing It. Think of anyone, in any field, who is truly brilliant at what theydo. They got where they are through constant self-improvement. Truly talented people areconstantly learning and implementing new skills. It’s worth joining them in this passion.

　　10.有所成就的人在坚持学习。仔细看看，每个领域的出色人才都在做自己需要做的事情。他们在不断努力完善自己。真正有天赋的人都在坚持学习，提升自己的技能。我们也应该像他们一样拥有这样的热情去学习。

　　很多理由让你去坚持学习新的东西，但是不必在意具体原因。在大脑中形成对新事物之间的关联并不困难，毕业之后其实也是你开始学习的好时机。
