“Broaden your definition of learning.” “Refine your existing skills. Are you already good at fly fishing? Computers? Teaching? Playing saxophone? Hone these skills and take them to the next level…. Try new things, both inside and outside your preferred skill areas.” It’s Back-to-School Time! Do we remember the anxious excitement and anticipation of that first day of school? Seeing friends again after a summer vacation, a new outfit, new lockers, new teachers? The list goes on and on! Oh, the enthusiasm of youth! Remember: “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education.
