Thought for the Week

Every answer brings more questions.

A professor of mine once told me that he thought about publishing a book of everything he knew; he said the book would be filled with blank pages. His reasoning was that when he found an answer, it brought more questions; finding answers helped him realize how much he did not know. If we look for answers to explain everything, we are missing the point. We are more successful if we see answers as guides to the next questions or life challenges rather than end points.

What answers have I found?  Have I used these answers to help me continue learning?  What paths of knowledge have I been ignoring?
