Story: Lifelong learning

During the holiday, I was working as same as usual. Fortunately, I could contract with 2 clients for $50/hr each. This is one of the benefits of online clients. I don’t think many local companies pay $50/hr for a designer/employee. It’s temporary. So, the clients do not need to commit long term like ordinal employment. Therefore, both have a benefit after all.

Besides the time, I was reading the books which I bought a while ago. I also wanted to buy some new books which I know. I already read some books in Japanese. Some of them were introduced on YouTube. I am not smart, but I like reading and studying spontaneously.

In 2020, we can reach the study materials, e-learning or book, quite easily. We can learn anything, online and offline. There is no boredom in our life.

I visited a local bookstore during a holiday, but I could not remind these titles easily. Many books were released a long time ago. So, I hesitate to buy them for a regular price. I could find a second hand on Amazon, but the price is not much different once includes shipping. Craigslist is my current option.

Anyway, I would like to make book lists and I will buy them occasionally.

Conclusion: Never end

Once I started to search for a book on Amazon, Amazon shows the book which I may like or the book which people bought at the same time. I could not stop searching for it.

These books may be available in my first language. In Japan, there is a well-known used bookseller and if the book is a bestseller, I can buy it for less than half the price. If the book sold a few years ago, it’s only a few dollars. I want to read these books in English, but it depends on the situation, budget and timing.

Either study or hobby, we have many choices. I understand life is tough. even so, we are blessed compared to the past generation. I want to live until 80 years if possible.
