Training Day

I’ve never been one to really benefit from ‘guided learning’. It’s just not really the kind of teaching that can keep me engaged and inspired.

In school I wasn’t focussed, so managed fair-to-middling results… the same in university; I always had more fun (and so learned more) with projects I could run with on my own, make my own mistakes, and not get stuck in a laborious step-by-step progression.

I’d guess that a lot of the people I know are just the same, they are smart (very much so in some cases). Sadly, oftentimes the people in society who are seen to have succeeded in the common-everyday are conventional thinkers, are happy to comply and conform, to besheep themselves and do only what everyone else is doing.

I always found that those people who have truly the most interesting lives are those who excel in qualities such as resourcefulness, quick-thinking, creative-processing and lateral thought; those people make the world a much more interesting place to be than all the lawyers, bankers and doctors in the universe :)

Often I’m likely to say of people who possess qualities I do not, that I envy them. In this case however I do not… I’m delighted to be an outside-the-box thinker, and despite the occasional challenges of conforming with conventional society, it’s by far a more interesting life to lead :)
