General Culture

Seeking knowledge should be among your priorities. Why? Because "knowing" adds to who you are (not in a spiritual sense, but in your 'being human'). As you live in a world that exists around you and affects your existence, you should be interested in learning more about it: the environment, the different places, its history, the natural phenomena, its constitution,  the people who inhabit it and their cultures, music, the arts; and also the universe, the wonders of the cosmos... You don't need to spend your life "studying" to become an expert in anything (except, maybe, in what concerns your own job), but a fair amount of general culture is required from everyone. Unless you don't care to be considered ignorant.
