Learning NEVER Stops, and We Are All Learners

Ebrahim Sohrabi (Ebi)

This simple but powerful idea has become the heart of my philosophy as an educator and trainer both in Education and Corporate roles as I always mention to my colleagues and trainees:

“learning NEVER stops and we are all learners”.

It wasn’t something I adopted overnight but dedicated a lifetime to learning it; it grew gradually through my own experiences as a student, a trainer, and later as a lifelong learner in different fields and cultures.

I began my journey as a language instructor, where I quickly discovered that teaching is never a one-way path. Every classroom, every learner, and every interaction taught me something new about communication, patience, and the diversity of human understanding. Later, when I switched to training and development and more corporate roles, I realized that this principle extends far beyond education. Whether in corporate environments or community, learning remains a shared human experience that connects us all.

For me, “learning NEVER stops” isn’t just a motto; it’s a reminder to stay curious, humble, and open which is where learning starts without an end. Each challenge I face becomes an opportunity to grow from classes to offices, in any community and setting. I’ve learned from my students’ questions, my colleagues’ perspectives, and even my own mistakes. These moments have shaped not only my professional path but also my approach to life. Owing to this perspective, my daughter has instilled the idea of trying for the better and not just a result!

Today, I see myself as both a guide and a fellow traveler on the journey of learning. My goal is to create spaces where others feel empowered to explore, question, and evolve; just as I continue to do. Because in the end, true education is not about memorizing content, but about nurturing a mindset that keeps adapting itself and reflecting.

As a 39-year-old educator and trainer, I have been engaged in teaching since the age of nineteen; initially in pedagogy and, over time, expanding toward andragogy leading me towards DELTA Cambridge which made me discover far and beyond my homeland. This ongoing quest to understand learning as a lifelong journey is one that involves not only transferring knowledge but co-creating meaning through shared experience and reflection as I have always believed that learning happens both ways and not just from the lecturer/instructor. My professional journey has always been fueled by a curiosity about the intersections of wisdom traditions where Eastern and Western philosophies meet, resonate, and sometimes challenge one another.
