Can't Stop, Won't Stop: Learning and Giving

This week I decided to combine my two blogs into one and take the principles I am learning and find ways to correlate them This was incredibly easy this week.
One of my biggest takeaways was being able to never stop learning. I like to compare this to sports and athletes and to successful business professionals alike. Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, When you think of the names you think of greatness. You think of money and you think of success. These are common household names. Now what no one thinks of, is how do they stay on top of their respective "games"?  I learned from Magdalena Yesil this week to never stop learning and never stop pushing yourself towards your next big opportunity. When most people think of Tom Brady and Kobe you think Greatest of All Time or G.O.A.T. Tom Brady is 40 years old and he is still putting up insane stats even at his age and still performs at a top-notch level. He does this through his personal dedication to his passion. He studies other teams, their defensive schemes, and everything about them and how to dominate them. Kobe, the same thing. Bill Gates is always looking for worthwhile investments and continually looking for the next best step in his business endeavors and he does this by studying the market, research, and learning.
The next takeaway was being able to live a life where being broke and giving all you can give at the end of your life is what you want. I personally have the tenacity to give my best effort and to go to bed every day feeling accomplished and like I got everything done. Tom Monaghan's example of being able to give where it could do the most good is amazing to me. I have the passion to help people and use the money I have to help others and to give to others and I want to do work that gives back. I have been given so much. A good education, a good job, a beautiful family and so much to be happy for. and to appreciate. Some people don't have that, a lot don't actually have any of it. I feel it is my duty to give and freely do so so I can help others.
