learn something before you need it

Tweet

Some people stick to the theory that what you will learn should be something that you may need in the near future. My personal opinion is the opposite.You learn something first and later on you create or welcome all the chances to use it. If you wait to learn something when you need it then you will be found that it may be too late for you. Some people ask me why I am learning chinese ,where it is going to be usuful to me. My answer is the same.By learning it I will create the suppositions to need it. Do you agree?
