School's Out. Time for School!
We live in a world of schools. The formal ones and the subtle ones. Last evening, the season of exams and assignments for my university course came to an end. The last hurdle was an evening of presentations. Each student stood up nervously to present a topic to the class. Some stumbled, a few soared. But, the big lesson of the evening was that learning becomes turbo charged when you shift between the roles of teacher and student, when information is absorbed and then shared, when knowledge is not just passively consumed, but applied and passed on.
It occurs to me now that our Wealthy Affiliate community works in just this way. It is a school that gains its power from the circulation of knowledge among its members. We do not learn passively, but by applying knowledge to our projects and then “paying it forward” so that the base of experience grows and benefits all.
I feel happy to now have a chance to return my attention to my online projects and to collaborating with you all in our shared adventure of learning and discovery.
Have a fantastic day!

Great post, Peter. Love what you said about WA and knowledge being actively consumed here, applied, and then passed on. So true. Welcome back! Warmly, Heather :-)

Yes Peter, The never ending work of learning. The more we learn, the little we realise we know. Regards Sadie.
That's just how I feel about it, Sadie. :)
