Your Education Never Stops

There we are!  We've comfortably graduated the last level of schooling that you have and now, it's on to Easy Street.  Right?  I mean, that's the way it is in the movies! 
Well, unless you are currently staring at a director and a bunch of people that can't wait for you to get this ONE line right so they can all go to lunch, this isn't the movies.  I have no idea how to get into the movies or the entertainment industry in general.  I have never had an interest in that.

I have seen Easy Street in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.  It's just south of the intersection of PGA Boulevard and Prosperity Farms Road.  I was always amused that it is a dead end street. 

Now, more than ever, your education doesn't end with your last schooling.  The world will educate you if you don't educate yourself.  They didn't teach classes on how to operate the latest smartphone when I was in school.  We didn't HAVE cell phones when I was in school.  As a matter of fact, it wasn't too long ago that ANYONE had a cell phone.  I had to learn how to use my cell phone.  I had to learn that it would send text messages, but no one wanted to get text messages.  Then, everyone wanted to get text messages.  I had to learn to send texts all over again.  Now, it is almost the primary function of a cell phone...and this is just one example.

You (and I) are going to constantly be updating your education as you go through life.  Either you will be barely making the minimum effort or your will take your studies seriously.  If you are barely making any effort to upgrade your education, then you are probably not a very happy person or you have accepted that life is what life gives you.  Your bank accounts probably reflect that as well.  There's nothing wrong with that, but I can't live my life that way.

I want to see what I missed in class or better yet, what they didn't teach in class.
