Time is finite. As far as we are concerned that is. We have a beginning and we have an end.
But experience is infinite. The breadth of human wisdom is ironically, unknowable.
If you set out to learn one new fact, one new skill, one new talent each day for every day of your life — you wouldn’t even begin to gain a measurable amount of all the possible knowledge there is to know. Not if you set out to learn ten new things a day, nor one hundred, nor one thousand. If you lived to be a thousand years old learning a thousand new things a day for that millennium you wouldn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what is possible to be learned.
But still, shouldn’t we at least try?
Everyday you should learn something and you should teach something.
You may not achieve mastery in these new skills and abilities — probably far from it. But how much richer, more nuanced would life be if we tried?
What lands and connections might a new language push you toward? What depths and adventures would a new swimming stroke take you to? What doors and opportunities would a new occupational skill provide for you? What ideas and emotions might you now express with a new artistic ability? What craft or trade might you learn to make your house your home?
So many new tools to add to your belt, words to your vocabulary, skills to your skillset. Try one, try all — try anything at Portland Community College.
The options are limitless. Time passes, but wisdom is earned.
