S2E3: On Continuous Education and the Perpetual Renewal of Self

I have observed in my years that the most unfortunate condition into which a professional might fall is that of intellectual stagnation—a state wherein the mind, once curious and voracious in its appetite for knowledge, grows complacent and ceases to reach beyond its established boundaries.
