from Thriving Twogether · host Ryan Davis
"An open mind is like an open parachute." -Lord Dewar. Our quality of life and advancement depend on what we know and apply. Applying principles gleaned from others is invigorating. As is learning something new. We know certain ideas and don't apply them. And that's an application issue. But what about those ideas we don't know about? That's an ignorance issue. Can our biggest problems be solved best with better application? Or more knowledge? Maybe both. A very wise person, who never obtained a college diploma, took memory courses, a math course, spent numerous hours in book stores and libraries and studied foreign languages. He thirsted to know what he didn't know. Open your parachute. Learn new things. It might be the best way to solve your vexing puzzles.
