Learning Curve

Let’s take this with the theme of cooking and perhaps other frames of reference.

First, everything’s for us and we don’t care where it comes from, then what we see is magical. Then the cookie we eat, we make and bake ourselves. We do that for a few years then decide we don’t like cookies and try to stamp them out. Then we can’t afford cookies.

Now we can buy cookies again. Let’s make a better cookie and franchise it! Now we make/don’t make money. Then we decide to quit the factory and make our own organic cookies and live on a farm.

We dream, experience reality and decide what to do with the knowledge we’ve gained. That’s life. Hope yours is idyllic, Dee
