The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know

Albert Einstein said: "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know."  Before him, Aristotle said: "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." Well, that about sums up my life. I loved and still love learning. The reason I love technology is because it changes so fast, therefore there's more to know so fast.

I like history and love going to places like Europe because you can still see history. However, history is history. It doesn't change. Even though it's been ravaged by pollution, the Colosseum in Rome still looks like the Roman Colosseum you see in movies like "Ben Hur."

Before I moved to Las Vegas, I lived in Marina Del Rey California. In just the last ten years the entire Marina Del Rey area has changed tremendously. This can be said for most of the United States. Therefore, when it comes to architecture, the US is a great place to learn and see the changes. The fact that these changes happen so quickly, I realize how much I don't know what it will look like in the future.

Technology is so interesting for so many different reasons. It affects us mentally, it affects how we live, it affects how we play, it affects how we communicate and it affects our future. I believe technology is what Einstein had in mind when he said: "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know."

We think we know a lot about the human race, but when you see or read about disasters you realize how much you don't know about the human race. Some of it is very good - like the strangers who donate their time and money (and sometimes blood) to help others ravaged by storms.

Some of it is very bad - like the insane person who just last night fired on thousands of good people watching a concert killing over fifty people and hospitalizing over five hundred people. Believe me, "The more you know about the human race the more you know you don't know."

Too paraphrase what a friend of mine, "Mike Bemiss," wrote in my first book "Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold - Taking Charge Of Your Career And Your Life:"

"Beware Of The Known"

"It's not the Unknown that we must fear. As Children everything was unknown. But, as we get older we start to build walls around ourselves, at the limit of what we Know. I will not build that wall.

I appreciate the Known, but I refuse to be limited by it - It can be a trap - if you let it - and you will never experience the next Unknown - and that is the most special UNKNOWN of all

The Next One"
