• Life-long learning is an umbrella term for consistent learning.  However, "how, why, what you learn" changes with age,  as does one's ability to focus.  Hence, the adaptation to  LONG-LIFE LEARNING , a term coined by Chip Conely (founder of MEA Modern Elder Academy)   
• It speaks to the idea that topics change , get more spiritual and holistic , develop more depth. 
• Mindset change from CAN-DO-IT to CONDUIT  ,  incorporation of  Warmth and Wisdom 
• Fear of the unknown gives way to curiosity and then deepens into humility  
• Knowledge worker is an ubiquitous word .  The new challenge is becoming a WISDOM WORKER.
•  Becoming a MODERN ELDER  - metabolizes experience to distill compassion. 
• Success is not so much winning as it is learning ,
  
• REGENERATING instead of RETIRING. 
• Develop your own little Book of Learning / Book of Wisdom - What have i learned this week ? Keep it factual,  devoid of emotion , troubles , feeling , unlike a diary or journal.  
• Cocktail party question  - In what parts of life are you a beginner these days ?    When's the last time you learned something for the first time ?

Extract From “Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman

SELF EFFICACY
The belief that one has mastery over the events of one’s life and can meet challenges as they come up .  Developing a competency of any kind strengthens the sense of self-efficacy making a person willing to take more risks and seek out more demanding challenges.   People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities.  Ability is not a fixed property , there is a huge variability in how you perform.  People who have a sense of self efficacy bounce back from failures. 
 
Confidence as a spectrum and in another guise ?
