The More I Learn. . .

The More I Learn,

It Seems

The Less I Know. . .         

 

 

I have made numerous journeys around the sun. Gaining perspective, I experience lots of opportunities.

 

Considering possibilities beyond initial impressions continue to be an addition to life's equation.

 

Consequences come along the way. They arrive in an abundance of varieties. That shelf is rarely empty.

 

This post title is also a reminder. Delivery methods express similar thoughts differently. Clarity increases. Or confuses. Simply stated, it's complicated.

 

Time provides much. Reflection. Interpretation. Questioning. Any such list is ongoing as well as evolving.

 

And as this month ends: So long, June and welcome July.

Hi Michael:

What a thoughtful end to June as we all continue on our journeys around the sun with hopefully lots of learning experiences...and more to share here!

Jeff Dowler, CRS - while not exactly secretive, some things are not share-worthy.

I love how you challenge me to expand my thinking! I have another rotation coming up soon, perhaps I will self-reflect a bit over the next few days!

Hi Michael,

I just can not fathom where half the year has gone.  On a side note,  we have had pretty nice weather throughout June.  I don't think I will be able to say the same for the start of July!  It will be toasty! haha

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - fathoming forecasts whether they be weather or otherwise could prove fruitless.  Happy Early Independence Day.

Never will I be a know-it-all because my brain continues to toss out the unimportant things into the File 13, when sleeping! Enjoyed this pondering post, Michael Jacobs.

Congrats on being featured in BananaTude!

Thanks for the highlight within the BananaTude group - I appreciate it.    🍌🍌🍌

Curiosity and passion for learning are great traits to possess - especially as our trips around the sun increase, Michael! I hope to never lose either, no matter how long I'm on this side of the ground!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - perspective makes a difference.   Time brings that along with so many other presents (and presence too).

Hello Michael Jacobs, I keep trying to learn and keep learning, it keeps my mind fresh.

Will Hamm - my mind may not always "be fresh" and sometimes it seems to slip into that days-old section.   The process continues.

As we say goodbye to June and welcome July we realize it is half way through the year already. Before we know it we will be saying goodbye to 2023.

Thinking about you this morning and popped over to read a pondering or two. Is everything okay? I certainly hope it is and I hope you have a terrific Tuesday, Michael!

Michael Jacobs - learning is fun!

Suddenly, I'm thinking about Dr. Seuss!

Jul 12, 2023 06:19 AM
Michael Jacobs

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - Dr Seuss fills my brain.  Often and magically.  I admit I am fonder of his earlier work.  

Jul 12, 2023 06:22 AM
Patricia Feager

Michael Jacobs - I always loved Dr. Seuss. I think I read every book he ever wrote. When my daughter left home for the University to live on campus, I tucked inside her footlocker "Oh, the Places, you'll go!" When I came to visit her, she had that book prominently displayed for all to see.  

Jul 12, 2023 06:27 AM
Michael Jacobs

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - 📚 In my opinion, books make wonderful gifts.  I have found that they are sometimes long remembered.  

Jul 12, 2023 06:44 AM
Patricia Feager

Michael Jacobs - Same here! I went to a recent birthday party for a client's baby who turned 1. I knew his father loved trains so I bought 2 books: 1) The Little Engine That Could; 2) A collector's book on trains autographed by the Author. 

There's always something good to choose when you go to a bookstore!

Hey there and Happy Sunday to you, Michael! I hope you are well and simply fresh out of pondering thoughts to share for the week. I miss your pondering posts - especially on Sundays (the day I have more reading time)!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - pondering continues for me although not as many thoughts make it to publish/print as in the past.   Thank you for continuing to stop by.  💭💭💭

I need to do some yard work but it will be deferred. It is hot and we have a bad air alert as well.

Do we have a limit switch when it comes to learning? If so I hope I never reach that point Michael 🙂
