In today’s society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn．For instance, the IT world is constantly changing．Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years．The point is to learn to learn．
Blogging works exactly the same way．And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal．If you’re trying to make money, this is abundantly clear．There’s always more money to be made．If you’re teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share．Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling, so people don’t get bored of you．
This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out．They forget this．They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain．They get comfortable．Then they start to run out of juice．Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it．They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever．But this is not true．Pay attention．Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning．
The point is apparent．Don’t think you’ve succeeded. There are plateaus, but there are no peaks．What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side．Always be learning from your experiences．See what posts work for your readers．Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually．

The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter．One day the man 1his 3-year-old daughter for 2a roll of gold wrapping paper．Money was tight and he became 3when the child tried to decorate a 4to put under the Christmas tree． 5, the little girl brought the gift to her 6the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy．"
