Never Stop Learning: How Self-Education Creates a Bullet-Proof Career by Paul Jun

Business writer Tom Peters once said, “A career is a portfolio of projects that teach you new skills, gain you new expertise, develop new capabilities, grow your colleague set, and constantly reinvent you as a brand.”
