Benjamin Franklin used the 5-hour rule as the recipe for his success: Every week, he would dedicate 5 hours to learning something new.
A few weeks ago we asked if you were up for the 5-hour challenge and you blew us away with your response. You didn’t just tell us, you showed us the results of your dedication.
You shared the inspiration that keeps you going after a long day, the places where you make time to learn, and your new discoveries. You showed us how fun learning can be.
Like Hannah who built her own course collection on her journey to launch a sustainable fashion brand. Or Augo who built his own personal syllabus to ignite creativity. And Danielle, who chipped away at the Google IT Professional Support Certificate each night after putting her daughter to bed and is using what she’s learning to advance her IT career. Or Heba, who has translated more than 1 million words into Arabic as part of the Coursera Global Translator Community.
Every day, you’re showing us new possibilities.
Whether you’ve already completed dozens of courses like Emmanuel or you’re just getting started with the thrill of learning anytime, anywhere, we’re glad you’re a part of the Coursera Community.
