IN THE BEGINNING

Instructors asked students to select a quote that would reflect our thoughts and intentions through our LATI training.
“Learning without thought is labor lost.” Confucius.
I picked this quote because it is a simple truth. If we don’t stop to take the time to think about what we’re learning and how it fits into the scheme of things, then it doesn’t become part of us, part of our knowledge, and part of our truth. At times I rush through what I’m doing just to get it out of the way and move on to whatever else needs to get done. This usually leads to a waste of time, unnecessary mistakes, and little or no knowledge.
Confucius’ quote reminds me to be, to slow down, to learn, to absorb.
