Ancora Imparo

Late in is life, Michelangelo began to inscribe "Ancora Imparo" next to many of his works. This Italian phrase translates to : "still I am learning". I find this phrase to be motivational, as, in the pursuit of continued knowledge and self betterment, we must all continue to learn. I suspect that when we stop learning, or, for that matter, desiring to learn, we begin to slowly fade away. So, if we assume that "conventional wisdom" is correct, the status quo is enough, or that what we already know is enough, we have stopped learning. I say, bring on the debates, the challenges to conventional wisdom, the unacceptance of the status quo. I am pleased that I will never have all of the answers, but, equally pleased that I will never run out of questions...
