30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 24

By
Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.


"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."
-Brian Herbert 

Today I am thankful for my love of learning. 

As an agent, I always exceeded CE requirements. I enjoy learning about all kinds of things and have a huge library of books, tapes, and videos. And, of course, there's always a multitude of online options. I've probably spent more money on books, tapes, videos, and seminars than if I'd gone on to medical school.

I admit it... I am a learning junkie!  The nice thing about being a learning junkie during a pandemic is there's no reason to ever be bored, unless you want to be. There is always something new to learn and so many opportunities to do so.

Life is also full of learning opportunities. I like to joke that I have two PhDs... one from the University of Adversity and the other from the School of Hard Knocks.

Hi Wayne Martin 
The world would be a better place if everyone would make that choice, wouldn't it?

Hello Carol - you have exposed massive amounts of learning is the best form of "good junk food".  You obviously exceed the recommended minimum daily requirement.

Hi Kat Palmiotti 
It always fascinates me the variety of things that people are interested in.  The topics are endless. The challenge is choosing.

Good morning Carol Williams - those two university degrees carry so much weight.  That is why we get smarter as we get older.

Hi Carol Williams - agree with you, we both love to learn new things too. As for real estate, it's fun to keep expanding our knowledge, plus it makes us more effective for our clients.  Bernie has both a business degree with a major in engineering and also a law degree. He's the superior smartie pants in our house. Lol. You too should be proud of your formal education.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD 
My husband was the true academic smarty pants in our house. He had a legittimate PhD.  LOL    I think he loved me for my common sense and street smarts... among other things.

Hi Carol Williams I get this totally.  Learning is the fun part of life and my Mom used to say - when you're through learning, you're though.  Let's always be working on yet another PhD........so many subjects, not enough time

Hi Carol- When I began my Sunday series it was because I always said that I learned something every day at ActiveRain and I decided to put my money where my mouth was. I too am grateful that I love to learn.
