Are you amongst the learning or the learned?
A few weeks ago, I listened to Dr. Jackie Freiberg, the opening keynote speaker at itSMF's Fusion conference in Dallas. During her presentation, she gave the following quote from author Eric Hoffer:
In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
I have found this to be true in my own experience. Today's learners are the ones that get the new job opportunities, the sought after promotion, and the next client. They are the ones that are not afraid to try (and even fail at) new things. Do you consider yourself to be a learner or one that is learned? Has your learning stopped? Right now, more than ever, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels and stop learning and trying new things. Those that do will be quickly passed by those that chase after knowledge. If you have let yourself become learned, think about ways you can join those that are learning. Your career depends on it.
