your daily rock : revel in not knowing

January 24, 2014 in Daily Rock, General

Not knowing can be a source of great anxiety for some, for many.

But not knowing is the only place where learning can happen. I have to “not know” in order to truly learn.

Learning isn’t recitation of what we know; it is discovery of what we don’t know.

Train yourself for surprise, not against surprise.

Today, know as little as possible.

Love,
