let’s get it started
if you’re like me, you probably have a long list of things you want to learn. here’s a short selection of my wish-list:
- classical music appreciation
- photoshop mastery
- economics 101
- introduction to world history
- overview of philosophy
it’s a long list so i will spare you. well, my struggle with this blog is the same struggle with learning. so much to learn, so little time and where do i even start? what is best?
for 2008, i’m going to start afresh and keep it simple. i won’t even have a long-term plan. i’m not going to worry about the internet, podcasts, blogs, etc.
i am going to take it one book at a time. i am going to read a book and blog about it in many parts.
it’s the power of one. i shall just focused on one book and not worry about trying to “maximize” everything.
like i said before, it’s a journey here on ihadapooreducation.com and there will be lots of mistakes and revisions of mind.
so tomorrow, expect some writing on something that might help you at work. i am from a non-financial background so i was looking for a book to help me understand financial information.
the book is Financial Intelligence: A Manager’s Guide to Knowing what the Numbers Really Mean.
apologies
i am sorry i haven’t been writing.
but i remain poorly educated and passionate about writing here.
i still have many questions on how this website should be. i haven’t found my voice yet so you might find the entries rather disjointed and all over the place.
better than sitting still, i think.
introducing ihadapooreducation.com
i just wrote the introduction for this website:
why i created this website
more than once, you have heard adults blame their lack of knowledge and ability on the educational system.
so i thought i set up a website to be a resource for adult learners, who are keen about learning and want to share their knowledge and ideas.
what exactly that means, i’m still not sure. but i’ll fumble along.
there will be mistakes, terrible writing and general silliness but it’s all in the name of learning and a bias for action.
do share with me your ideas, especially if you want to be a contributor. my email address is isaiah@ihadapooreducation.com
stop the blaming, start the learning.
