I don’t care how old or young you are. I don’t care how many degrees you do or don’t have. I don’t care what position you hold or how many people work for you or how amazing your fans say you are.
Whether you’re a high school dropout or a professor with three PhD’s: Learn or die.
If you’re a rookie or a veteran: Learn or die.
If you’re first-year or tenured: Learn or die.
If you’re in the mail room or the CEO: Learn or die.
Sometimes I bump into people who think they are beyond learning something new. They think, “I know what I’m doing. I’m doing just fine.” But they are coasting. They are being lazy. And they won’t see their arrogance for what it is until it’s too late.
No one is impressed by what you did last year. No one cares that you’re holding ____ credential. Results are not dependent on what you did years ago. They are dependent on what you do today.
Learn or die.
