About learning and communicating
Stories about my communication and learning, captured over the past few days.
1.) I recently told my child that it is not possible NOT to learn. We are learning all the time, be it conscious or unconscious
2.) I mentioned to a friend that the moment we stop learning, we start to die
3.) One of my executives said that he does not yet know everything there is to know about the project we are working on. I told him that the moment he knows everything I will have to fire him, because when he knows everything, he has stopped to learn at that exact moment.
I was just kidding, of course, but isn't it true? We will never know all there is to know about the things we really want to know. Just look at your wife, husband, boyfriend, sister, brother or parents or your children. How much do you actually know about them? Even so you are with them for years and year.

hey there andreas, it's been awhile.
i agree with what you have said, death comes to those who believes that they have learn know everything.
though it is when we don't know anything and begin to learn about everything nonstop..that is the time we are truly alive.
