There isn't much to add here other than thanks and appreciation for the raw and honest opinion on the topic and lessons. The uninvestigated details of the original post were nicely expanded upon by Marc. Which leaves me with little content other than the title: Learning.
Learning these life lessons forged in the heat of unemployment is definitely the intense version of learning options. But similar to many things, as adults we often lose the ability (or interest) to learn unless a situation "forces" that upon us.
I watch my children learn and it is so beautiful. They do it with light speed, it is seemingly effortless, the volume of learning is staggering, and most importantly they experience pure joy when learning. By comparison, teaching adults even small changes or skills can be met with substantial resistance and monumental struggle.
Which brings me to the punch line: how do we as adults shed the burdens of our daily life that afford us the ability to continue to learn at the same pace and with as much ease as children? That to me may be the keys that unlocks the lessons articulated by Ed but also the joy that comes along with the perspective.
And I'm trying to figure out how entitlement plays into our lack of ability to learn as adults. Anyone got that figured out?
