"The Beautiful thing about Learning is that it cannot be taken away from you"
Have you seen anyone making money or earn anything without first learning?
The saying that when you stop Learning, you start to die is very true because the moment you stop learning you become less productive and hence inhibit your growth.
Learning
The First 25 years of your Life should be dedicated to rigorous learning, here you're still young and still have the strength and the brains, it doesn't mean after these 25 years you should stop learning.
Earning
Now, the second 25 years of your Life should be your Earning age, here you must work, gather all resources you need and want and build the life you've ever wanted.
Yearning
The Last, 25 years of your life and maybe more, that's if you happen to live and survive the rat race for more than 75 years is suppose to be your YEARNING age. here you are suppose to enjoy your harvest, reap the fruits of your labour and leave a stress free life.
It pains me to see old men above 70 still working at the Factory, opening gates and hustling around the city, this tells why people don't get very old in this part of the country.
First you Learn, Then you remove the 'L', Then you add a 'Y' afterwards.
Set your priorities right, we've all got 24hrs in a day, make wise use of yours, stop lying idle at waste.
Let me give you the shocker, a time is coming when you won't be able to work again, a time is coming when you will be far back at time, Time will have left you behind.
Whatever you've got to do, do it now.
THE FUTURE IS NOW.
Also I will be placing a bounty on this post and let's talk about this.
Ideally: learning every year the same amount, never stop
We don‘t need to follow this rules. I formyself will try to learn (study, workshops,...) as much and as long as possible because I do not need this earning phase. I only need love not money to survice!
Well written post!
All the best to you!
Thanks man..
That is a good article you have written @christianolu. The problem with most of us is, we allow our situation to determine how we should live instead of us to determine how evens should happen around us. What you put in place yesterday is what you will get today. So everything we do matters.
Yeah man if you don't work today you get nothing tomorrow same principle is also applied to steemit.
Thanks for coming around..
I have always believed if we do make our youthful age fruitful by working hard and intelligently, then investing our earnings intelligently and properly in a profitable business our old age will be full of bountiful harvest. What we invest while we are young maybe what we would reap when we are old. So what i am saying here @christianolu is your article gives us great information and awareness to manage our time well.
Yeah mate I really love your idea investing really matters. A man without investment is just like a snake passing on a rock.
Thanks for your review.
Good point. Interesting article. We all have the power to learn. As they say experience is the best teacher. Most people learn by experience and other learn by other means. Procrastination kills the future and makes us stagnant. We only progress when we make a strong decision to do what must be done. With this my friend you nailed it. Good job.
You nailed the comment too as well.
Thanks for coming around :)
@christianolu, your write up, just change my perspective on earnings. Wow thanks for this tip!!!
Thanks for the comment as well :)
I usually forget the most importand stuff i learn.
like writing
Some older people like working as it gives them something to do. Retirement is a drag for some people and they rather keep working.
We never stop learning. Since joining Steemit I have learned many new things such as meme creation and some photo editing among many other useful tidbits of information.
Good point but the main reason while old people work nowadays is because they didn't invest while they are young and if you doubt me, use Bill gate as an example.
Thats true .. the world is full of people that think they will be young forever. Allot don't plan for the future.

Congratulations to the following winner(s) of the bounty!
It's quite a thought provoking article and has raised questions relating to everyone's life strategy. Everyone has their own problems, which can lead them to work in their old age but young people can definitely follow these priorities to make their old age better.
Working in old age is not a bad thing but you should have strategized it as early as possible in your youth.
I like this not just words, but actual life sequel ... Learning, Earning, Yearning.
Great one sir
That was a useful information
