I recently read a piece about a guy in his late 30s who took up learning guitar as a hobby and actually became a proficient player. Then I read about a young man who decided to devote an hour a day learning about something just for fun - including banjo, juggling and astrophysics.

我最近看到一篇文章，讲的是一个快四十的男人开始学习弹吉他，原本纯属业余爱好，最后竟成了一名娴熟的吉他演奏家。之后，我又看到一篇文章，写的是一个男青年决定每天花一小时学点什么，仅仅为了自娱自乐，包括五弦琴、戏法和天体物理学。

Those pieces revved me up to go out and learn something new. Although I love that journalism allows me to dabble in a range of topics, I miss the thrill of structured, focused education. I'm not talking about going back to school full-time for a degree program, but taking a course or even reading a book to learn something just for the sake of it, such as a new language or skill. (Italian! Guitar! Indian cooking!) I don't need to become a master-the basics are fine with me.

Getty Images你能挤出时间学习新东西吗？这些文章启发我走出去，学些新东西。资讯事业使我可以涉猎各种不同的题材，我喜欢这一点，但我也怀念系统性、专注式教育的乐趣。我指的并不是重返校园做个全职学生并拿个学位，而是完全出于兴趣去修一门课程，或是看书自学些什么，比如学一门新的语言或技能。（意大利语！吉他！印度菜！）我不需要成为大师，只要学些基础的东西就可以了。
