I love those conflicting two-word phrases called oxymorons …
“pretty ugly”
“legal brief”
“old news”
“committee decision”
And, “country music.” 🙂

Adult learning
We’re not good at learning because we’ve “mis-learned” what learning is.
Learning is not about showing up.
Learning is not about going to class, memorizing content, passing a test. That’s called “college.”
Learning is not attending a seminar, listening to a speaker, reading a book.
As written in QBQ! and Parenting the QBQ Way …
LEARNING = CHANGE
A learner’s self-talk:
If I’ve not changed, I’ve not learned.
Simple. Powerful. True.
Have I learned—changed—today?

Hey! Leave Country Music alone!! Loved this piece, John. Keep ’em coming!
I will! Thanks!
I’ve really been enjoying your 99 word blogs! Nice to get a quick “bite” of inspiration and learning, and also a great exercise in communication – how to get a message across simply and concisely. Great stuff!
Thom, very kind. Challenging to write but I enjoy doing them. Glad you’re enjoying reading them!
