Never Stop Learning


Almost every organization must now be a learning organization. We must learn the academic, theoretical, technical, human, and analytical skills to fix problems before they happen.

With thanks to the Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and Pete Seeger here is my interpretation of a learning organization

To Everything There is a Time


A time to plan; a time to act

And in between a time to learn

A time to create; a time to destroy
And in between a time to learn

A time to purchase and a time to sell
And in between a time to learn about what is valuable

A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to be sad; a time to celebrate
And in between a time to learn about what makes life worthwhile

A time to design; a time to build
A time for old; a time for new
And in between a time to discover.

A time to read; a time to write
A time to talk; a time to listen
And in between a time to learn how humans communicate

A time to share; a time to receive
And in between a time to learn

A time to give; a time to take
And in between a time to learn about respect and trust

A time to manage; a time to follow
And in between a time to learn what makes us want to do the will of others

A time to work, a time to play, a time to cook, a time to eat
A time to be born and a time to die
And everyday is a good time to learn.
