Seek to understand. Always be learning.
Learning is an expedition of discovery and wonder. Education empowers a growth mindset that expands your potential for personal development, cultivating your abilities to keep improving in life. Reading is only one way to learn. There are countless other ways, such as hobbies, classes, formal study, online learning, videos, on-the-job training, and mentoring to name a few. The point is the world is your classroom, a wide berth of opportunity to expand your mind. The world is an amazing laboratory to experiment and to challenge yourself to be better. Lifelong growth is possible with a learning mindset. Seek to understand. Always be learning.
The Exploration
I love books and treasure the exploration into the unknown world of discovery and insight. The possibilities are endless, and curiosity is the fuel to drive the mind for more knowledge.
As a kid, I remember riding my bike with my sister and Mom nearly every Saturday during the summer months, and we would pedal to the local library in our neighborhood to pick out books to read for the week. I remember being thrilled to check out multiple books, pile them in my wooden basket on the front of my bike, and then race home to read them. My Mom swore I read a book on the bike ride home. She remembers that we would read nearly the entire stack of books on the same day we got back from the library. Then we would wait until the next weekend to return the books, check out a few more, and repeat the adventure. Saturday morning bike rides to the library with my sister and Mom were some of my favorite memories as a child.
