An important lesson from history is that many people are late-achievers and produced their best works in the second-half of life. While no one knows when their time is up, there is still time to have a go. Thinking ‘there is not enough time’ has spoilt many dreams. It's never too late.
How does an on-line course work? Well, it depends on the course. Often universities provide a web portal to run their on-line courses. Typically a secure login is enabled for each student allowing access to - course material; an interactive discussion forum; a facility to upload and submit assignments; and access to the university research facilities and library.
Previously I have done post-graduate study (part-time) via two methods – (i) on campus study, and (ii) on-line study. How do they compare?
Can you do more than you can? This may seem like a contradiction but you can certainly do more than you think - maybe even more you think is humanly possible. A couple of years back I began training for an event where I would cycle 1000km in a week - from Adelaide to Melbourne along the Great Ocean road. I remember thinking that this was a challenge so difficult that surely it stood at the borders of human endurance. After completing the event I realised how ridiculous my thinking was.
You can do more by doing less. Save time by cutting out less important things and you'll have more time for what's important. Here's what I did along with some of my struggles.
