Constant Learning: (Learning for Development)Patrick Doogue, Group Sales Manager23 October, 2017

My first thought….

…beyond my:

• ability• knowledge

• & outside of my:

• comfort zone• experience

In the presence of esteemed librarian’s, fellow publishers and business partners – however:

…I remembered the central tenet of Turkish hospitality!

I stand before you as ‘God’s Guest’ – and know that I can rely on your:

• courtesy

• patience

• tolerance

• understanding

I’ve come to appreciate Turkey’s rich culture and history, its natural beauty, its amazing people and glorious food.

…what I’ve learnt…

• First written language (Hittites)• First evidence of organized agriculture• Home of 2 of the 7 wonders of the ancient world• First shopping mall (The Grand Bazaar)• Introduced coffee to Europe & Tulips to the Dutch!

Continued (Lifelong) Learning Defined…

…the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated" pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons.

• not new

• hard-coded in the DNA of mankind

• without the in-built curiosity of human beings there would have been no advances in:

• agriculture• art• engineering• medicine• science – best summarized as follows:

the world’s greatest physicist (scientist) and the essence of continued learning

…we’re for the passionately curious…
