Dear Learners,

I’m into baseball, so I have shelves full of baseball books. Many of those books tell the same stories, and I’ve read those same stories over and over and over. Do you have any idea how many times I’ve read the story of Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World?

To know a thing well, you have to learn it again and again. Learning isn’t about getting something one time and plopping it into the old brainpan. Learning is about having an ongoing conversation with ideas, and ideas grow out of knowing a thing inside and out.

And it takes time and it takes effort.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
