Welcome

This is my personal & professional blog.  It's a place for me to think out loud and learn. I'll sometimes talk about things I don't understand as a way to begin to understand them. I'll often be wrong, short sighted, and unclear. When you see this happening, please point it out!

Learning vs Doing

I'm sick of learning.  I'd be quite satisfied with not learning a single new thing for years.  That's because learning often gets in the way of doing.  And life is about doing, not learning.

Learning is great in your teens.  The same way idealism is great in your teens.  Twenties are about doing and translating that knowledge and idealism into impact.

I've felt this way for a while...reading Jack Cheng's blog post about learning made me want to get it out.

Learning and Doing are not mutually exclusive.

Well, maybe for charlatans. ;-)

That's what you think young grasshopper. They are mutually exclusive.

What about learning by doing? I fail to see your point.

plentyoffish.com seems to be doing alright.
