“You cannot open a book without learning something.”
Confucius
The more I get older, the more I read and listen and watch and experience, the more I hone my skills, the more I realize how little I know.
I say that not discouraging, but enthusiastically.
There’s always a deeper level. There’s always a few questions trailing any answer.
Curiosity begets learning begets questions begets more learning — ad infinite.
Don’t let this notion make you feel overwhelmed or behind. Behind who? It doesn’t matter. You know what you know, and with a sound mind, you’ll always be learning more—whether you’re 7 or 80 years old.
But don’t let age make your curiosity ridged and stale like an old loaf of bread forgot in the pantry. Open your mind to new ideas and experiences. Just because someone won’t make you yacht-loads of money doesn’t mean it isn’t a worthy pursuit. Be inquisitive. Get weird. Expand wide. Ask a million questions as a child would. Be annoying.
The only thing that should stop us from learning new things is death—everything else is undebatable.
STAY BOLD, Keep Pursuing,
