Well said! Kudos to you for having the courage to share your thoughts publicly...and to renounce them publicly when you come to believe they were spoken ignorantly. To quote the Mandalorian, "This is the way."
Yep, I always marvel how people pretend they understand because they feel they would look stupid if they just asked... But then they really do end up stupid, because they would not learn
Such valuable words and insight. I’m planning to start my own ‘reading the greats’ project in 2025 exposing the innards of my reading journal to chart the process. I’m already very nervous about what my meanderings might reveal, but I also think that the adventure of reading, and all the non-knowing and un-knowing that takes place, is worth sharing! Thank you for your humility which gives me strength 😊
At 74 years old with a very diverse professional career and a complicated personal life (LOL), I’ve always learned a lot more from my mistakes than my victories! Few ask themselves what factors/decisions resulted in the particular victory….but analyzing mistakes can lead to more success.
