Learning is one of my core values. It represents the fact that if we are not changing as the world changes, we are falling behind. Because of this, I seek out information on several topics that are work-related and many that are not. As I watch, listen, and read, I jot down ideas that I want to come back to. Below are a few of the lines and phrases that I think others will appreciate too.
