Dr. Dylan Wiliam is a prominent thought leader in my profession of Education. I heard him say at a conference once that "a lifetime is not long enough to learn the craft of teaching."
Indeed! Or any other professional endeavor, for that matter. Or, for any MEANINGFUL endeavor, for that matter. Parenting, painting, the practice of law, house building, golf, .... Whatever we choose as a meaningful pursuit has no point of being "finished." If we want to get better, we have to learn more.
The practitioners I admire most are the ones who keep reading, seeking, asking, engaging... in the interest of improving their craft. And thus, their effectiveness. Truly and more than ever in the history of humans, there are NO LIMITS on our learning. Except the self-imposed ones, that is.
As always, today is an excellent time to get goin'.
