berita lama, but still worth mentioning.
seorang tua, tapi masih kuliah. sejauh ini sudah koleksi 29 degrees, dari s1 sampe s3.
dia mengaku bukan grade-a student. hanya hobi kuliah.

... 71-year-old Michael Nicholson of Kalamazoo, Mich. Nicholson has earned 29 degrees and is now pursuing his 30th.
...
Nicholson has one bachelor's degree, two associate's degrees, 22 master's degrees, three specialist degrees and one doctoral degree.
...
His wife is highly educated in her own right, with seven degrees of her own.
...
When asked what advice he would give to recent graduates, Nicholson paused before saying, "Don't quit too soon. Keep up with your aspirations. A lot of people tend to throw in the towel and have to come back to it later. Don't give up on your aspirations too soon."
i like learning too, dan selalu ada keinginan untuk kuliah dengan jenis bidang yang beragam. tapi saya mungkin tidak ada kedisiplinan seperti itu. itu hanyalah rencana saat sudah pensiun nanti. ato setelah menemukan ritme hidup yang lebih stabil. *alasan*

he is indeed the ultimate life-long learner. and the ultimate example kalo belajar tidak mengenal usia. memang hidup seharusnya demikian. saya harap dia diberi umur yang panjang supaya bisa mencapai targetnya untuk mendapatkan 33-34 degrees, saat berumur 80an nanti.
