The Attainment of Knowledge: Finding Buried Treasure

Good evening, all!

I confess that I absolutely love learning. I just love the challenge of acquiring new knowledge.

And interestingly enough, sometimes that knowledge comes from unforeseen places. As student affairs professionals, sometimes, our students will teach us, instead of us teaching them.

Other times, we learn from our mistakes. Or from our colleagues, families or friends.

But that’s what’s so unique about life. Things aren’t always straight forward, nor are they expected.

Things just happen. Knowledge is just there. Waiting for us to snatch it up, digest it and transfer it into our minds.

We need to realize that knowledge is all around us, like buried treasure. It’s out there for us to find. Sometimes, we’ll stumble upon it, other times, it’ll be right in our path. But it’s out there. Everywhere. And it’s awaiting our discovery.
