Good Morning,
Helping people achieve their potential is one of my greatest joys. Consequently, when I work with highly talented people who resist learning how to improve themselves, is a challenge for me.
One person in particular really got to me as they seemingly shunned all of what I consider my diet of wisdom (books, seminars, training programs, etc.). They are a rising in stardom in their role and I felt bad they were not looking for additional wisdom to take it up a notch or three.
How could someone who is so good and with so much potential NOT try to improve themselves.
When I look at people, I do not just see them as they are, but I try to see them as they could be.
What I failed to realize is that there are many paths to wisdom and this person was hot on one of those trails.
Just like we have auditory, visual and tactile learners, wisdom can be gained in a multitude of ways from many different sources.
In this case, this rising star was learning from doing the job, and trial and error (and in many cases learning from other people's errors). While we all learn from doing, failing and doing again, some people are able to squeeze a lot more from this exercise than others. What seemed to be an appetizer of gaining wisdom, for this person, is a full meal.
It reminds me of the super bowl when each player is introduced, their college or university is listed. There are many different schools these people come from, including the 'School of Knocks'. This shows people can get wisdom from almost anywhere if they look for it.
The important thing is that we get it and that we do learn and grow daily!
Enjoy!
