Don’t Fear the Learning Curve
One scene in a movie that I will always remember is from The Matrix. Neo, finally disconnected from the Matrix, is learning new skills by having them ‘uploaded’ to his brain. The culmination of the scene is when he famously says to Morpheus, “I know Kung-Fu,” and they fight. I think about how great it would be to learn this way; just plug in and have knowledge transferred directly to me. Of-course, we know that’s impossible (at least right now ;-)). We have to learn by reading, watching videos, attending class, and other tradition methods. It’s not always easy and it could be discouraging. That’s why we need to be mindful of the learning curve.
