Get In The Game
Sitting at the college library I was getting ready to start on a draft of my blog post. I can hear a teacher or tutor talking to someone. He's giving examples on how to give a speech and tells her to pick one she likes and go with it.
I got back from my road trip too late to enroll in classes this semester so I'm using the college computers to work on my blog.
What he's saying reminds me of what I told a guy in Seattle. I was sitting in a park playing chess. After I beat a guy in two games he asked me if I would teach him how to play chess better.
I told him, "I can't teach you how to play chess better. You have to play your game and come up with your own strategy."
I would go there every day while I was in Seattle. I won a few and lost a few games. A couple times I lost so bad it looked like I fell asleep at the table. People still said I was good at the game.
- So what's my point? Life is hands on.
- At some point you have to stop learning about something and do something.
