Learning
I’m doing the band thing full time. But since last fall I’ve been taking online college classes. I really like them because they make me feel like I’m being productive even when there are problems with the band. I realized that I really like to learn. Sure it’s boring, but I find a lot of my classes really interesting and really good to absorb. I loved my communications class. It taught me stuff I should have learned ten years ago. Like the fact that communicating to someone is about what they hear, rather than what you say (think about it).
Anyway… The point is: Throughout my life, I never want to stop learning. Not just from a book, but from people, experiences, and life in general. Intelligence is the capacity of an individual to understand the world and the resourcefulness to cope with its challenges. That doesn’t mean passing any tests. It means having the wisdom to deal with people and challenges. I want to be happy. To do that, I need to know how to manipulate my world to fulfill my wants, needs, and desires. And to be more intelligent, I need to LEARN.
