What are the positive effect of being a student?

Someone once said that the day you stop learning is the day that you die. You are a student of everyday life. If you touch something hot, then you learned not to touch certain things. A student in a school can learn specific topics. Most of what students learn in school are things that someone else learned the hard way, (Ouch! Don't touch hot things.") Learning about your country is easier as a student because you can't travel all over it and gather all that there is to learn. Many others have done that for you. You can learn in a controlled atmosphere where outside intrusions won't distract you. A person who is a student will go far in life. I also heard that someone said, " Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." or something like that. Have a blessed day.
