Learning is like rowing against the current…

Books “Any day spent learning something is never a day wasted”..

Many companies do not believe in this simple quote, because basically they do not believe in training.

Training is for many a waste of time, which takes away from work. But they do not realize that keeping constantly up to date is inevitable: learning is like rowing against the current, if you stop, you are pulled back.
