L To The Third Power

One of my biggest pet peeves is talking to someone that is a know it all! It does not matter what the topic- these people have an answer for everything, and they are never wrong- just ask them. I have learned through teaching upper level math classes that it is ok to say "I Don't Know" or better yet- "I Don't Know- I will do my Best to find out the Answer". I call this having the attitude of a Life Long Learner! Each and everyday brings a new opportunity to grow. What resources and people do you look to in order to gain knowledge or growth? It is a hard thing to admit sometimes that we need help or need counsel. A lot of times we take it personal, or we respond in a way that says- "I have always done it this way". I challenge you today to be a Life Long Learner! Seek out that person in your profession that is at the top, and spend some time talking to them. Spend some time reading a book that will bring about growth. I learned from going to basketball clinics with my high school coach that if you can learn just one new thing at at the clinic, then it was a successful clinic. Apply that to your life. If you learn just one new thing a day, then that is 365 new pieces of knowledge in 1 year! Just like when you take a number bigger than 1 to the third power- it expands exponentially! Expand your mind, body, and spirit by allowing yourself to be an L CUBED---Life Long Learner!
