Always Learning, Always Growing

What can I learn today?

How can I be better tomorrow?

Baseball manager Earl Weaver said, "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts." Legendary football coach Knute Rockne said, "Build your weaknesses until they become strengths."

By asking yourself, "What can I learn today," and, "How can I be better tomorrow," you are starting the process of learning, growing, and getting better by learning how to learn (Mind Gym).

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open. Be open to teaching and constructive criticism. Be self-aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Know what you are good at, and know what you need to work on.

Baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, known as The Big Unit, said, "You never stop learning in this game. If you ever think you know everything, it will jump up and bite you. Hard."

Michael Jordan said that every summer, he wanted to add something to his game. When you stop working and adding to your game, you become easier to defend and easier to beat.

Have a growth mindset. Be willing to work on your weaknesses and learn new things so that they can become strengths.
