I Keep Learning Because _____

What’s YOUR #UdacityLearning answer? Let us know, and you could win a ticket to Intersect 2018!

We took to Twitter today for what we thought would be a fun and inspiring way to give 10 people tickets to our Intersect 2018 conference.

It was just a simple prompt …

We were hopeful we’d receive some great responses. Little did we know how powerful those responses would be … Like this one, from Yana Lustina in Chicago, Illinois:

Or this one, from Alphonso Sensley II in Oakland, California:

The range of responses has really been incredible—ranging from the practical to the philosophical, and all points in between. The limited character count of a Tweet seems to function something like the tight form of a Haiku, pushing the authors to reveal the most powerful revelations from the most compressed of expressions. Some even sound like actual Haiku poetry, like this one from Aniket Satbhai, in India:

Or this one, from Songtao, in Melbourne, Victoria:

As as contest, the whole affair is a straightforward one …

We’ll pick 10 winners randomly on 3/16. Each will receive 1 ticket and a registration code by 3/19. No travel/accommodations and 18+.

… but the experience of witnessing so many heartfelt answers has been moving beyond anything we could have imagined.

Honestly though, we should have known! The power of learning is an incredible thing, and lifelong learners are amazing!

Tickets to Intersect 2018 are very nearly sold out, and we can’t wait to add 10 more inspiring lifelong learners to the guest list. Why do YOU keep learning?
