In 2006, you will have greatest success if you approach every experience as a student. Your ability to experience happiness will expand if you re-ignite your love of learning and become perpetually ablaze with curiosity. You know that old expression, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”? I suggest you make yourself ready, because a crucial teacher is or will soon be in your vicinity. Here’s another key piece of advice, courtesy of J. Bronowski: “It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.”
Funny considering I just decided to continue school for all of 2006. And didn’t I use the exact phrase, “love of learning”?!?!!?
I wonder who the teacher will be….
I think it’s a good idea for you to slog through and get it done. I think it’s really really hard to go back to school after you get out there in the world. It’s still going to be there (the world, that is) when you finish up and have all your shiny new degrees in hand.
