Sometimes we learn not just the topic we study, but more about ourselves in the process.
Although at my age, I must admit that what it’s really doing is reinforcing knowledge that I may choose to be blind to and be avoiding. Learning why, for example, that communications course group had me pegged as extroverted, leader, outgoing, when in fact, I felt myself just the opposite. It all comes down to doing what I have to do to get something done because I get too gung-ho or obsessive about it. Must bring out the aforementioned, otherwise recessive qualities in me, which when in warp mode, probably just come through as bossy and manic.
Must learn to stress less. Go around singing, “Don’t worry, be happy” or “Mañana is good enough for me.”
