Life long learning is the only way to keep yourself from becoming like everyone else. Conforming to the archetypical views and vernacular of the masses is not something I long for. Mr John, you basically applied the Paretto Principle which simply states 80% of X will yield only 20% of Y. 80/20 rule. I consider myself an expert (or SME) on many things, but Daymond would you hire me: Sold a company to a Fortune 500 co at 20, Degree in Marketing and Econ, 9 IT Certifications, Six Sigma Blackbelt in Statistical Analysis, Political Delegate…..take someone with all of that….now without my desire to learn, would they trump me? I doubt it unless they can speak Spanish, French, Korean, German, Japanese, etc… Global business. One also needs to learn to change their lexicon based upon with whom they are speaking. I speak on Twitter differently than I will with Senator McCain tomorrow night. Jack of all trades, master of none - quote for those who can’t or won’t. VERITAS, PAX FRATER!

Are you sure you are correct about your stats because I know you’re smart but don’t let everyone know how smart you are?

Education is important whether you are in school or hands-on or being schooled by a mentor. Speaking of mentors, everyone no matter how long they have been in business needs a mentor. Moreover, learning is always important and a part of life even when you learn things the hard way. Funny…yet true!
