Stray knowledge

[Ken Meeks]

The Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy is the school from which one never graduates. This is good. For if the student never graduates but always attends, the pupil willl always gain knowledge. Knowledge is power.

Knowledge, however, has no loyalty. It will abandon you if you ignore it. Knowledge must be coraled and utilized. The more knowledge that one acquires, the more time and disciplined sheparding one must exercise to hold on to the knowledge.............in other words; If you don't use it, you lose it.........I had a little reality check tonight...........5 part stick drill................completely eluded me.....it simply wandered off while I was dozing.

It is a drill I learned my first month of class nearly two years ago. Back then it was easy to maintain my little herd of knowledge. I only had a few to keep an eye on. Now, that I have been exposed to more and more knowledge, my herd is growing bigger, but, as I found out tonight............it is also getting scattered....... Time to get back on and stay on the training horse.......now, where did I leave my hat?

Great post Ken. I am working on putting together a tracking process for each student to take home that will allow better management of your growth and what material needs attention. Thanks for your attention to detail.
