Facing IT! - Tangled Fishing Line

For years, I thought I was a slow learner.

Then one day, I realized I wasn't learning slowly.

I was learning differently.

My mind has always been like a tangled ball of fishing line.

I can't pull one answer straight out.

I have to loosen one knot.

Then another.

A conversation with a barber connects to something a truck driver once told me.

A farmer answers a business question.

A cup of coffee reminds me of a lesson from years ago.

Little by little, the line begins to untangle.

People sometimes wonder why I enjoy talking to strangers.

The answer is simple.

Every person knows something I don't.

And every conversation has the potential to untangle one more knot.

Maybe that's why I keep asking questions.

Not because I don't know enough.

Because I'm still learning how all the pieces fit together.

Education is the key. Teaching is the degree. ✌
