Lifelong Learning
There’s something tragically unsettling when I converse with so called know it alls. They seem to share from a position of unjustified contempt. I say unsettling because the experts I’m familiar with are quite humble. In fact, most won’t share their expertise unless prompted.
“An empty wagon is loudest on a dirt road” or something along those lines, I fail to recall completely. My point is people that ramble off information, spouting it as if they’re experts are always correct. In fact, when asking follow up questions, it’s been my experience, most of their recommendations fall apart or quickly change. Worse yet, their information may be outdated.
More people than I could possibly number are making their choices on antiquated information. What was true five years ago, may not be true today. New information is becoming available at a rapid pace. It’s especially true in business. The principles remain the same, but the implementation of those principles may have been updated.
I humble myself to not being a know it all. I want to learn something new each day. I would encourage all to do the same. It’s proven valuable for me and others I speak with on a consistent basis.
Today, Monday, January 16, 2023, I am grateful that:
I get to learn new things today. There are a number of tools that’ll act as accelerants and catalysts propelling me and my endeavors towards their end. I’m so thrilled to be alive at this time.
Sherman and I had a conversation earlier. It’s great to speak with like minded individuals. He’s a great guy and I enjoy being able to have fruitful dialogues on a variety of topics.
I was able to attend a performance with a few local artists last night. It’s cool to be around the vitality of the young. I often kid myself by saying I was never that young, but in reality, I was. I did those things or something similar and fondly reminisce about those times.
