we are encouraged to go and do, see and feel

and we run ourselves crazy until that precious moment of clarity

”where in the hell have i been and what did i learn”

one can experience many things and remain empty

it is not what we experience……………..get this

it is what we understand

try on a hundred pair of shoes…………………….is that the same as taking a hike in them

see the difference

running your hands over a book isn’t the same as reading it

and reading it without understanding is like trying to hold water in your hand

there are books that i read over and over again because they have so much information in them

forget quantity go for quality

one of the smartest people i have ever met read 5 books in her life

she had never traveled more than 50 miles from her birthplace

she had a 6th grade education

the things she knew she knew very well and it allowed her to know many things

beyond her experience
