I really like this idea Rosa. Far too often does conversation and growth become stagnant. I was at a social media lecture a few weeks ago, by Joseph Thornley, and he mentioned how he wanted employees who came to work everyday a little smarter for something they learned from social media. Although this isn't exactly what you are referring to, it is a similar idea. provoking thought and discussion.

Cheers

I completely concur with Mr. Thornley Will - thank you for bringing his name to my attention by the way, I just read some of what he has to say at his blog and on Twitter.

I think learning is like daily exercise; the more we keep at it, the better we get. In exercise, that daily repetition is very important with strengthening our bones and toning our muscles. Same thing happens with continual learning ‘exercise’ but it happens within our heads, and within our emotions and spirit. What we ‘strengthen and tone’ is our amazing capacity and potential as complete human beings. As Mr. Thornley no doubt was alluding to, a little smarter each and every day will go a very, very long way!

The other bit to this is that there can be an amazing number of ideas between the covers of a single book - and within nearly every single sentence of a conversation! We can’t possibly get to them all within a single sitting. Think of when you might read a book, or even a magazine article the second time and say to yourself, “how did I miss this before?” about a thought or idea which newly grabs your attention. So coming back to things yet again can strengthen different impressions, or give new ones their shining moment in the light of a newly emerging day, especially as work-day context shifts, as they so naturally and frequently will.

Thank you Will, for sharing this particular conversation with me! Just look at what you have now helped me magnify which was not originally in my posting today!
