So much is at our fingertips — literally. When you stop and think about it, we are living in the most amazing time throughout history in which to explore, discover, share … and learn. This is so clear as you see young children exploring, discovering, sharing and learning all that is around them through everything from iPads to fingerpaintings. From snapping a photo of a flower to digging through the dirt to plant a seed and watch it germinate and grow.
Children with their hungry, open and eager minds are open to all that is around them. And all that allows them to learn. Books, computers, cameras … and the flowerpots in their schoolroom window.
May we adults do the same. May we not be “afraid of” or reluctant to embrace new technology and new ideas. And may we not be so caught up in being confident, being “expert”, being managers and developers and officers and owners and adults that we lose the insight and opportunity that comes from being a student. Think of the worlds and opportunities that are opened by admitting “I don’t know — but I would like to learn”.
That, my friends, is where the most amazing journeys begin.
