You’ve probably heard it said that most people learn on a “need to know” basis. Most of us simply pass up educational opportunities unless we have a specific immediate application.
And that’s really tragic because there is so much knowledge available to us; so many resources. Knowledge about how to do or make just about anything anyone could possibly imagine. There are schools. Nearly every community has several schools. There are libraries. There is hands-on training available everywhere that most people are totally unaware of and even money available where tuition is involved! But these resources don’t come to you. You have to seek them out.
You know, if we would use the time and energy of youth searching out and taking advantage of those resources available to us instead of wasting our time in pursuit of constant entertainment, the results would be absolutely awesome!
