“Change is the end result of all true learning.”
—Leo Buscaglia, 20th Century American author, motivational speaker, professor

Today’s quote does an efficient job of encapsulating the transformative power of knowledge.
It reminds us that genuine learning goes beyond mere information acquisition — it fundamentally alters our perspectives and behaviors.
When we truly internalize new ideas, we can’t help but evolve. Whether it’s shifting our worldview, adopting new habits, or refining our skills, authentic learning inevitably leads to personal growth.
EXERCISE:
In what ways do you view change as a positive indicator or learning?
To what degree do you remain open and receptive to new ideas and change given our rapidly evolving world?
In this day and age, you have to be open to new ideas and technologies or you will be left behind. For example, in the retirement community where I live, a printed monthly newsletter is issued. The person who composes the newsletter is not growing any younger and in the not-too-distant future, the printed monthly newsletter will likely cease publication. In anticipation of the printed monthly newsletter ceasing publication, the community has developed a website to convey policies, information, HOA payment, etc. The residents who are not computer literate and unwilling to learn the new technology will likely feel isolated and frustrated.
