May God bless those of you who have chosen to continue learning throughout your life....especially if you are way past your college or university years. I applaud you.
There are so many new options for these kind of self led learners.
As clipped above...this is any example of the free online classes that anyone with an internet connection can view for free. This past week, it also occurred to me to check to see if these classes have written transcripts and turns out they do!! So, now if I am struggling to spell something that I have heard in these classes, I can simply scroll down underneath the video and click on the transcript, find the corresponding words that connect with the timestamp I am listening to, and find the accurate spelling and wording.
Thank you M.I.T.
Thank you youtube!
Peacefully productive,

Don't ever talk yourself out of listening in on new things, things that you think are beyond your "ken".
I want to encourage you, if you are looking at youtube videos of classes from Ivy League schools such as M.I.T or Stanford....and perhaps you feel intimidated or that somehow you just "don't belong" among those students. I just want to say, that if you really are trying to expand your life, you are going to need to expose your heart and mind and life to new things....things that are unknown and new and sometimes intimidating. But the beauty of these type of free online classes, that require no registration and are totally free with an internet connection, is that you can be completely anonymous while you are being exposed to some of the smartest minds in the world. Even if you understand only 1% of what is being taught, at least you are expanding your knowledge base with new vocabulary and new subject matter. It is GOOD to be around people and subjects that you don't understand. Why? Because it keeps us humble. It keeps us learning. It keeps our brain growing and reaching with new neural networks. Don't give up on your personal growth and self led learning journey. It will be worth it if you don't give up.
