Learning often comes with moments that make people feel humiliated, such as struggling to keep up with others’ learning progress, failing to understand key concepts even after repeated explanations, or being unable to apply what they have learned in practice. However, this does not mean we should give up on life-long learning — mentors can offer professional guidance to help us overcome difficulties and build confidence, friends can provide emotional support and encouragement when we feel frustrated, and partners can work with us hand in hand, exchanging ideas and making progress together, all of which can assist us in adhering to life-long learning.
