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?

You can't believe to never stop learning. It would be better to say: I believe in starting where others stopped, and thus in never stopping to learn.

@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.
