Knowledge is power. But learning with the intention of making your life better is a superpower.

We tend to spend an incredible amount of time learning things that have no applicable value to betting our lives. One may call it gathering useless knowledge. While that could make us the hero on trivia night, it does nothing to aid our evolution into a better version of ourselves. Dedicating an inordinate amount of time to researching characters from your favorite TV show or learning everything about golf does nothing to better your overall experience. However, dedicating the same amount of time wasted across many meaningless such pursuits instead to understanding yourself, your work or your time better creates real, tangible value. Learning a new skill set you can apply to increase the value you bring to the world and therefore benefit from personally. These are the aspects of life that provide the fruit of a better, more meaningful existence. Thus, when you focus on enhancing them through organized, purposeful learning, the rewards are exponentially higher.
