Learn Something New, Every Day
Spending time with my nearly 80 year old Mom is always a hoot! Just last week, we are having lunch and she pops the question. "Do you know how to Twitter?" I had to admit, that I have yet to learn how to Twitter, or why to Twitter. Unsatisfactory response. Next question. "Well, why not?" Next thing I know my Mom is texting Ricki, our able Quality Coach assistant, to see if Ricki can help her learn how to Twitter.
My Mom makes it a point to learn at least one new thing every day, and I guess it just occurred to her, over lunch, that she had not learned anything that day. My Mom has been in charge of her own curriculum for as long as I can remember. She is also a natural teacher. She loves to pass on what she is learning. And, her kids and grand-kids had better keep up with her, or else! I don't think it is any coincidence that Each Decade of her Life is Her Best Decade Yet! She is great at adapting to change and moving on!
As an avid student of My Mom, I notice several qualities or practices I would like to share. They include:
Remain Curious - I notice that my Mom is a very curious, inquisitive person. She is both unfocused and focused in her curiosity. That means she is open to learn from any and all experiences, and is very deliberate about learning about the long list of specific interests she maintains.
Learn at Least One New Thing Every Day - This is just one of her many healthful habits. If the day goes by and she hasn't learned something, you can bet she will learn something before retiring for the evening!
Be Great at Unlearning - This is huge! If we hold on to old and obsolete information, approaches, ways of thinking, practices, and habits, there is little to no room for new ideas and information to flow in.
It helps to teach what you are learning - My Mom is great at this. I am guessing that soon she will be wanting a Smart Board to enhance her teaching methods.
It helps to practice what you are learning - Not everything we learn is worth practicing. That's where wisdom comes in. It takes wisdom to sort through what we are learning and choose those things that are worth putting into practice. There is a huge difference between being knowledgeable and being wise. When we find those few worthwhile things, there is no better way to learn, grow, and influence others than by practicing What Matters Most to us.
One of the really fun things about my Mom is that she is an identical twin! We grew up hearing our Mom's referred to as "The Twins." Even though "The Twins" have very different interests, they approach learning and life in an identical way. As they learn and unlearn, they teach each other.
The Twins have taught me that the Brain is Renewable Energy, and that to Learn is to Live! Thanks, Twins!
And now for your coaching challenge, should you choose to accept it.
The first quarter of the first year of this decade is history!
What have you learned during the first quarter that will help you make this Your Best Decade Yet? What have you learned that is worth putting into practice?
What have you unlearned? What habits, practices, and ways of thinking do you need to let go of?
We'll see you on line next Monday. And, Remember to Keep on Learning! Wishing you Your Best Week Yet!
Cheers! Coach Jeanne
