WHY THE MOST CREATIVE PEOPLE ARE GENERALISTS

In a world that over-emphasizes the need to specialize, it is heart-warming and relieving to hear that there are others out there who do not aspire to such.
The generalization lends the opportunity to take normal understanding and creatively put it in a situation where analogy can make connection across barriers.
LONG LIVE THE GENERALISTS!

Want to Learn something better? Go and teach it!

WHY TEACHING MAKES YOU SMARTER
THE PROTEGE EFFECT IS A POWERFUL FORCE. SO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN BETTER AND FASTER--TRY TO TEACH THE SUBJECT.

This is a great principle- I have seen it many times- when you start to prepare to teach something to someone else you learn it better and you get "nachas" when they "get it".
