What is it that makes some people rejoice at the opportunity to forever learn something new. and,  get right into testing it, yet can make so many avoid the  thought  as though someone had dropped the devil at tea time?

I have to admit I was the teacher's worst nightmare all through public school.  I was so bored in high school, I dropped out and signed up for a business course.

That's when I learned the truth about my learning needs. I was hungry for something real, something I could not only learn but use.  I completed a year's course in four months.  This training took place at a private school of sorts where the teaching was intense and the opportunity for a hungry mind to be well fed was available. 

The honors degree and several diplomas for Stenographic skills still stay rolled in a safe place as a reminder of what a mind can do when focused.  There are times these days I need that refreshing reminder.  Not because I have ever paused in my life since that awakening, but because it helps me understand the fear that produces a litany of excuses for not settling down and focusing in on the learning phase too many people use to avoid the very success they are seeking.  It may be, they are not hungry enough .. yet.

I smile when I look at those degrees, thinking of the 16 yr old who grabbed opportunity by the tail and ran for her life never looking back.  I have to wonder if these people ever had a dream.  Did they ever want anything bad enough they were willing to sacrifice for?  Does anything they want now, worthy of their dedication to learn, or is this just another playing field that feeds their life-long habitual need to complain?

Imagine waking up one day to realize you made yourself over, into a securely  rooted fence post along a field of beautiful flowers banking a sparkling stream, finally realizing you aren't there to protect the beauty you never enjoyed but there to keep yourself away from all that might have been.
