Half-learning

“Is that something you half-learned from the internet?”

My question to a colleague was in jest.

But it’s something for us to keep in check: half-learning.

There’s a difference between going quickly and lightly, and haphazard skimming.

Take note of the times when it makes sense to slow down and to learn deeply. Times when a headline and a blurb are insufficient. Times that merit a deep dive and further reading.

Times when contemplation and reflection are more valuable than moving briskly to catch the next firefly.
