Are you a Lifelong Learner?

Learning is a continuous and Life-Long process. 

When I hear the above line, it immediately sparks the story of Nokia. 

In 2007 Nokia has a Market share of around 12.6% while in 2013, the Market share is just 6%. The Market share has almost been halved. 

What will be the reason?

People say Innovation is the one main reason for Nokia's Downfall. 

It is not only for Nokia, It is also for each one of us. If we are not Lifelong Learners, we might be kicked out of the Market. 

It is much more important to Market ourselves, to achieve our dream and desired career in our life. 

One of the ways to reach the Professional is LINKEDIN.
