I am a tutor and I try to instill the importance of learning, for learnings sake, in my students. Of course, it is important to learn about things that can enhance our lives and not just ’stuff’. I try to guide my students to sites that are useful, not just faddy. At first we sometimes do things because they are mandated, like your Tellman, but mandates become good habits. You have started a great habit, and lifelong enrichment experience.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('656','smith'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('656','smith','I am glad that you have someone like Tellman to encourage you to take time to learn.

Knowing more things just makes you more interesting. Knowledge is a gift I could never waste. I love learning, be it for the money or just the fun. Big researcher here. I loved the research for my books way better than the actual writing. I mean, I'd never have known that Tibetan yak butter tea was once made with dung of yak, just to keep the tea leaves together. Or the engineering causes for the Titanic sinking. Yet, in the business world, when there are so many things going on around you, you think, I'll do it tomorrow, but the learning somehow gets shoved aside. Glad I now have a rigid schedule that forces me to take the time. Well, I look at my hour as joy time. I know it's coming at the end of the day, and I totally look forward to it. But how many bosses make sure you do that or how many expect you to do it after office hours? If you have a regular 9 to 5, do you have learning time every day? You should! :-) It rocks! --Pat<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('652','Pat Marcello'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('652','Pat Marcello','Hey Mike,\r\n\r\nI couldn\'t agree with you more, and thanks for bringing that up.

Big researcher here. I loved the research for my books way better than the actual writing. I mean, I’d never have known that Tibetan yak butter tea was once made with dung of yak, just to keep the tea leaves together. Or the engineering causes for the Titanic sinking.

You should! :-) It rocks!

Sometimes, they're bombs but sometimes I get something interesting. My best works have come from "scheduled" time, which sounds counter intuitive. I think structure with learning works in exactly the same way. It takes practice to learn. Of course, we're all learning new things at random times throughout the day... but just think for a moment how skilled a piano player would be if he only practiced when he felt like it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('645','Tim'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('645','Tim','As a creative, I set aside dedicated time to create.
