Learning is living and I like living, so I admit I will always be in process. Here is a little something I am learning this week.

I was talking to a friend a while back who’s 15-year-old son was NOT studying for his permit test. He didn’t want to keep taking practice tests because “he knew everything already!” That is of course if “knowing everything,” means that he could get all 10 answers right on the aforementioned practice test after checking 5 with Google and a few with Dad, then yes, he knew everything! Especially since driving is summed up in 10 simple questions.

The interaction between logic and emotion is a twisted web within each culture. Some people and or cultures see emotion as weakness while others see it as passion and spirit. Some try to detach from emotion in the workplace for a variety of different reasons while others strive to bring “the whole person” to work each day. I think that we are much more powerful and purposeful when our emotions are engaged with the work we are doing.

Have you noticed that in both athletics and business, the highest functioning groups have a clear and shared vision and goal?

There are many wounds- physical, emotional and spiritual- that fester, worsen, and spread if not dealt with appropriately.

A boil is a minor physical wound known to fester. In the technical sense, a boil is a painful infection of a hair follicle and the surrounding skin. It begins as a red lump, then fills with pus as white blood cells rush in to fight the infection (I asked Google). But even minor wounds ignored or inappropriately treated can have major consequences. The longer we go without proper treatment, the larger the risk for further damage.
