To Teach Is To Learn

The Two, Why & How, Are Completely Different
The Two, Why & How, Are Completely Different

1 Overlooked Short Cut To Success

This Insight May Sound or Look Goofy

Was talking to a really smart Fortune 100 executive recently, someone I’ve know for over a decade. We don’t speak regularly, but when we do, we each walk away with something good.

Knowledge is no substitute for time. Time is like money. The more you have, the wealthier you are. Time, well spent, buys you experience, something knowledge alone can not offer. The compound interest of time nets wisdom.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.

The long way is the shortcut to success.
