Today Years Old

Today years old,

is a good age to learn something new.

In a recent meeting, a person asked, “have you heard about this thing?” and I experienced surprise that they were only now discovering something I had learned years earlier and now considered common knowledge for people in our industry.

Later the same day, I was listening to a presentation and the speaker referenced something I had never heard of before. It was now my turn to learn something that others have known, and to them may be considered common knowledge.

So goes the realities of lifelong learning.

We might hold on to the belief that there is a point in our work and lives that we know all that we need, and that there is, to know about things.

Ha. Impossible.

New knowledge, perspectives, ideas abound. They are ready for us to learn, and learn again, each and every day.

Which makes me curious, what’s something you learned when you were today years old?
