And besides, teaching sucks. Who in their right mind would want to be a teacher? It’s a thankless job, and many times, you feel like you’re casting pearls before swine.
Does that sound a little harsh, a little selfish to you?
Hm, I guess it is.
Well, you can cut ties (see unsubscribe link below) or cut me some slack, either way, Papa Maverick is done gonna say what he damn well pleases.
I dare say that intro thinned out the herd a little.
Well anyway, I’m feeling a little philosophical today, so let’s see if anything profound comes out of the following rant, huh?
Here goes.
I had this strange thought the other day.
Imagine a world without media. I’m talking about a world without the internet, smartphones, TV, and radio. I’ll go one step further. Imagine also, there are no books, libraries, magazines or newspapers.
That would certainly make learning difficult, wouldn’t it?
Well, if our world suddenly went back to the dark ages, it is my contention that the people who would learn the most would be the same people who are learning the most today.
A world with information and media or a world without information and media matters not.
Learners gonna learn.
It’s what they do.
A learner is a learner is a learner.
Now, what trait do you suppose the avid learner has that others don’t?
Did you say curiosity?
Whoa.
Dear subscriber, you have shown a surprising amount of intelligence with that answer. In fact, I hadn’t even thought of that. Allow me to add to your rare but brilliant insight:
Because they have high curiosity, they inadvertently develop the skill of…
… OBSERVATION!
The truth is, you can learn without the help of technology, media, or traditional learning methods.
There exists an abundance of knowledge, insights, and wisdom to be gleaned from every place, every object, and every circumstance. The world is an intricate tapestry of lessons waiting to be discovered. A keen observer understands that even the minutest detail holds significance.
Sadly the average person is so oblivious to what’s going on around them that they might as well have their brains in a jar.
The secret to being a learner is to wake up and start observing.
Sherlock Holmes said it best:
“Don’t just see, observe.”
On second thoughts, it wasn’t any better than how I said it, right?
Whatever.
Now pay attention:
In author Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes book titled A Scandal in Bohemia, there’s a section where Holmes schools Watson on the difference between seeing and observing.
Here’s that section:
Holmes: You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.
Watson: Frequently.
Holmes: How often?
Watson: Well, some hundreds of times.
Holmes: Then how many are there?
Watson: How many? I don’t know.
Holmes: Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed.
***
And if you learn to apply that level of observation toward understanding human nature, watch out!
Well, in the July issue, I reveal a way to observe human nature that will shock you with how effective it is.
But time’s running out – fast!
