The Struggle to Keep Pace

Are you comfortable where you are? Should you be? What is the argument for being content?

The world is constantly growing, constantly moving. Do you want to know about politics, history or the human genome? There's so much in the world. How are we suppose to consume all this information in the world. How do we decide what is important to us?

I heard someone say once. That we are standing on the shoulders of giants. In other words, that we don't need to start from the beginning because we have our past to work with. But if we are a part of these giants, how do we know ourselves. How well do we know our fellow giants.

Using this metaphor, these giants are constantly growing. And say we give the giants names. Like science, math, history, art etc. Can we ever be comfortable with where we are? With our place among giants?

The struggle to keep pace, is long and hard, are we ever supposed to stop wanting more? How much time are we supposed to spend trying to improve, trying to become more.

From now on, I dedicate myself to learning something new every week and teaching it to you. Whether it be small, or it be large. We are a part of these giants. Let's be the biggest part.
