All these years of studying, dedication and hard work paid off because you are now the professional you hoped to become during all the past time.</p><p>But, you should know – this isn’t the end. If anything, this is the beginning of your life, your work and business. If you don’t keep up with the ongoing trends and happenings it’s not even staying still. It’s moving backwards, and you don’t want that.</p><p>If you are thinking you don’t have the time to pull everything off, both managing your business and continuing your education, you should think again. Here are top reasons why you should continue with your education.</p><ol><li><b>Moving forward</b></li></ol><p>If you are not constantly “on the run” there will be no progress in your business life. This rule goes for both business owners and regular employees who are trying to move up the ladder. You need to be on top of novelties in order to have an idea of what direction the business you are at is going to take. New people with new skills just keep coming and in order not to lose your current position you need to educate yourself non-stop. Hence, without education, thinking about career advancement is impossible.</p><p><a href="http://merlesmlmsuccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/image-2-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4673 align-center" src="http://merlesmlmsuccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/image-2-5-300x180.jpg" alt="image 2 (5)" width="300" height="180" /></a></p><ol start="2"><li><b>Staying Motivated</b></li></ol><p>If you are limited in what you know you are unable to move forward and experiment with the way you do things. Doing one thing the same way over and over again will eventually tire you and you will lose all motivation to stay on top of your game. Education pushes you forward in every single way. You get to make out new ways to do the old things faster, better, and more efficient. Complex projects aren’t a challenge any more; they are now just something that you do. Learning gives you new motivation to work and to do better. It keeps you skills updated and your brain fresh and ready. When you know that you are doing a good work, it’s easier to stay motivated.</p><ol start="3"><li><b>Refreshing Knowledge</b></li></ol><p>It is said that every 7 years the knowledge we gain at some college or university gets outdated. But, by adopting continuous education as a way of life and not a chore, you will always stay updated and know what the world is about at any point. Naturally, it’s impossible to learn everything happening out there but you can at least keep up.</p><p>When it comes to business, all business processes are different from one year to another. To keep up with them, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/courses-you-need-to-take-in-college-2014-7">you need courses</a>, training and other ways of constant info. This is why unbroken education is the way to go.</p><ol start="4"><li><b>Technology Advancements</b></li></ol><p>If you live in this world and on this planet, you are surely aware of how drastically the technology has changed in the past decade. Now, any information you need is just a click away. The old school complex assignments are outdated and everyone relies on technology.</p><p>If you run a business or even work in a modern equipped environment, you then know how big a role technology plays. And even though all this technology seams as an easy thing to master – you need to spend time learning everything which is why you need to continue your education no questions asked.</p><p><a href="http://merlesmlmsuccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/image-3-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4674 align-center" src="http://merlesmlmsuccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/image-3-2.jpg" alt="image 3 (2)" width="275" height="183" /></a></p><ol start="5"><li><b>Social reasons</b></li></ol><p>It seems like the world has gone two ways – we are all either super educated and informed our absolutely clueless. I believe you don’t want to be in the second group. Even if you do, it’ll bore you eventually – being clueless is such a weird feeling.</p><p>Anyways, being in touch with a lot of people on daily basis, whether it’s through your work or personally, you need to be educated in order to communicate with anyone properly. This is why you need to be on top of things going on.</p><p>Luckily, nowadays, there are a bunch of things to help you out with keeping up with what’s going on. Materials on the internet, PDF books, dissertations online, essays, presentations,<a href="http://www.thinkswap.com/au/hsc">useful hsc notes</a>, educative videos, Internet magazines, etc. – the world is your oyster!</p><p><strong>Continuing education makes a better person out of you. It will keep your brain active and prevent tons of memory and concentration issues that come with age, and – make you smarter! </strong></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>If you enjoyed reading this post I would appreciate your feedback so please share, tweet, google+ and comment.

The fog of information can drive out knowledge.” - Daniel J. Boorstin</p><p><a href="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDZBQR2AItmFav8A7Igx6yjXVHKhQKaut3hCLBllXvQG_bsXghkQ" target="_blank"><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDZBQR2AItmFav8A7Igx6yjXVHKhQKaut3hCLBllXvQG_bsXghkQ" class="align-center" alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDZBQR2AItmFav8A7Igx6yjXVHKhQKaut3hCLBllXvQG_bsXghkQ" /></a></p><p>When I had my first taste of marketing and sales in 1979, there was no Internet, mobile phones, iPads, or any other technological conveniences available. And while I think that technology is great to make business more streamlined, many people have forgotten (or probably never knew) the art of face-to-face interaction. I’ve had the luxury of learning how to build relationships without all the extra tools marketers use today. And while building relationships is vitally important to business success, having a little “common sense” goes much farther than any electronic device. I often wonder if people today would have any success without relying on the Internet when building their businesses. We have become a society of “tech junkies” to the point that some technologies are now considered an “addiction” similar to drugs and other infirmities.</p><p> </p><p>Now, I use systems like emailing, web meetings, conference calls, texting and more, like many others. The difference is I don’t let it consume my entire day. I believe it’s great to “stay connected” when you have to, but it’s also good to know when to turn it all “off” for a while. I may spend an average of 24-hours a day being connected to the Internet, but it doesn’t mean that I’m on the Internet for that time period! It’s good when you can let technology go from time to time and be free of the “digital distractions” that can consume you. Knowing when to use common sense should be one of your best attributes to running a business. Use technology as a “tool” to make your job easier; don’t use it to control and destroy your life and business.</p><p> </p><p> <b>G. L.

Hope it makes you smile.</p><p>I recently had my first experience of learning the simple rudiments of <b>pointing </b>a <b>domain</b> name to a company server. It got me to thinking.<br /> Once upon a time, I thought that <b>pointing </b>automatically involved an index finger. I guess the basic action is the same as in showing one the way to go to reach a particular destination, but index fingers are not exclusive in this action, in the world of technology, unless you are a one finger typer.</p><p>So I pondered some of the new lingo, that once meant something completely different to me, and how my aged brain has to reset itself to think in this digital age. Having been very much bred in a completely different time and space, the tendency to reflect is somewhat automatic even though at a subconscious level.</p><p>CLICK HERE to read the rest of this aricle. </p><p><a href="http://princessshimari.com/familiar-language-technology/">http://princessshimari.com/familiar-language-technology/</a></p></div>
