Remaining Open to Continuous Learning

| Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Aldous Huxley
|
| One of the most difficult problems of our age is that leaders, and perhaps academics as well, cannot readily admit that things are out of control and that we do not know what to do. We have too much information, limited cognitive abilities to think in systemic terms and an unwillingness to appear to be in control and to have solutions for our problems. We are afraid that if we admit to our confusion, we will make our followers and students anxious and disillusioned. We know we must learn how to learn, but we are afraid to admit it.
Donald Michael

Benjamin Barber

| An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.
Niels Bohr

| The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.
J.N. Fadenburg
|
| Only in growth, reform and change... paradoxically enough... is true security to be found.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

| There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.
Richard David Bach
