		<description>I have been a software trainer in my past life and by the time I was finished with the Captivate class I was ready to kick the pc to the curb. 

I can hack my way through most any program but I&#039;m STILL having problems with publishing the modules created. Skipping slides, tabs recorded out of the order accessed, and snarky non-helpful technical suppport (mostly on my side of the IT street). 

I am simply grateful to get some acknowldgement that what I experienced in the training was NOT the optimal way to present the information. I already bought the software - I didn&#039;t really need the &#039;look what this can do&#039; pitch from the trainer.</description>

		<description>Kristen,

The concept of continuous learning has been interesting to me ever since I left under grad. It only took me about 1.5 years to decide to go back for my MBA. Then after finishing that I really started learning. But I was always interested to observe how some people don&#039;t worry about continuous learning and others like me and many of the people who comment on blog posts are obsessed with it. 

Since then I&#039;ve realized it takes many different people to make the world go round but I&#039;m interested in the ones who like to continuously learn simply because they are more like me. 

Great post, thanks.</description>

		<description>Hi Kristen,

So true. Losing your curiosity must be a terrible thing. How stale life could become without the desire to learn. 

Personally, I find it much more fun to be around someone who, (like you,) admits to being an avid learner. Those who think they have mastered a subject and can stop learning are wrong. And boring.

And as you point out, the best way to learn something is to explain it to someone else.</description>

		<description>I really like the idea of learning from others in your field, not just to increase your own expertise but also to improve how you then go out and teach your own students.
I have fallen in the trap before of thinking &quot;I know this already&quot; and been guilty of not listening properly to the instructor but that statement of yours has made me realise how stupid I was - I should not only be sucking their brains dry for their expertise but also brushing up on my own teaching skills.
Thanks Kirsten!</description>
