Are You Learning Enough?

Are you learning enough? If not, why? Because you are here to learn, not to consume. If you want to grow yourself, if you want to get the promotion that you have been waiting for, if you want to explore the world around you, learning is the way.

“He, therefore, who fixes a limit of any kind to his intellectual attainments dwarfs himself, and cramps the growth of that mind given to us by the Creator, and capable of indefinite expansion.”- William H. Crogman

Learning means growing. If you want to grow, learn. You can learn anything you set your mind to. You can use learning to challenge yourself. You can use learning to get out of your head. If you don’t know where to start, you can start with yourself. Learn about your life. Learn about your goals. Question yourself. Don’t just go with the flow. Learning is not going with the flow; it is questioning the flow.

What You Must Do When Things Go Wrong

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, when the funds are low and debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must- but don’t you quit…. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to the faint and faltering man, often the struggler has given up, when he might have captured the victor’s cup and he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown.”- Edgar Guest
