I need help with |Thus| in the following line
"I believe in starting where others stopped, and thus to never stop learning."



I used this sentence in my portfolio and I have a feeling that it's not correct or natural, I might be wrong though.




Edit:



I wouldn't want someone to either misunderstand that statement or even feel unease due to the fact that it holds both meanings.



How about: "I believe in starting where others stopped, and thus I never stop learning". Or "I believe in starting where others stopped, so I never stop learning". Are these two sentences grammatically correct ?



Also I was concerned that "thus" could refer to "past" conclusions. What do you think?

  • @JasonBassford "never stopping to learn" can be easily taken to mean the opposite of what is intended (think "never stopping to smell the roses"); I would not recommend that phrasing.

    @MarkBeadles Fair point, I did not think of the other interpretation. Still, however it's phrased, the portion after thus should be grammatical with I believe in. Perhaps and thus never stopping my learning.

Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

Image
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief).
