Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 04, 2020

We’re all teachers and all students all the time.

I once made a card for college graduate that said, “Congratulations, now your education really begins.”

One of the things that totally snuck up on me was the realization that at the age when my dad had retired, I still had homework! (and had for most of my life). Even more amazing: Most† of it after I reached the workforce was useful enough to actually be enjoyable… at least somewhat.

† Not, of course, all  of it.

Sorry, Caulfield. But you’re going to be 8 years-old forever.

More fun when you study WHAT you want WHEN you want!

I’m retired and I learned 2 new things just yesterday. Stay curious my friends.

You should use schools to learn “how to” learn. That gives you skills for learning for the rest of your life.

“If man could live co-evalwith the sun, the patriarch-pupil would be learning still.”

Young, Night Thoughts

Which is why kids like to talk with Frazz. Always open to new ideas. Rarely puts down others. Doing a job that most would consider beneath them. And still smiling. Lots folks don’t get that.

If you’re smart, learning never stops.

Me, too Frazz. Me, TOO!!!

@ 32 attending school half your life would occur with high school. not into college.

Frazz, the eternal Student. Excellent.

When he’s 8 years old, 4 years of school is grades K, 1, 2, 3. But if 32 includes finishing high school (12 years) plus college (4), then somewhere that year of Kindergarten disappeared.

1. I’m 76 and am still learning. And more important, UNlearning a lot too. 2. Knowledge is answering the questions. Wisdom is questioning the answers. Enlightenment (in the Buddhist sense) is no longer feeling the need to do either.

I remember having a very nice dinner at a restaurant on the day that I had outlived my father.

All life is a classroom for those willing to learn.

Some learn all their lives… some never learn, even while a student.

I have three graduate degrees but I learn something new everyday and sometimes I still feel like a fool!
