All Entries: What I Learned From Limits
Wow, what a great topic, y’all! I mean after all, I can hardly go a few hours without encountering a limit of one kind or another. Why, just the other day I had to forgo that third basket of chips at our favorite restaurant. I mean hey, I am on a diet, y’know…
Anyhoo – All I’m sayin’ is, I think a big ol’ Yeehaw! is in order for the participants in this month’s groupwrite project: What I Learned From Limits! In fact, we had 22 entries this time, including two guest posts from Kay Plantes and Chris Garrett (sound of crowd cheering enthusiastically).

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
yes it is said that “true learning is not bookish, it comes from experience”, and when we cross limits of hard work, we vision a way, way to success, and learning is too essential, no matter how much we grow up, we should always remain a learner.
limits. wow, when I got used to my job gradually, I knew that the so-called limits was just so so. Indeed, I think it helped me a lot to reinstruct my responsbility and the confidence. From the limits I know what I should do and what I never suppose to do, and from do these job I found the importance of myself.
@James – Hey, I’m with ya on that one! Learning needs to become a way of life.
@Jason – Hey, good for you, Jason! You’re no doubt smarter because of that discovery, right?
Yes, learning is wonderful!!
brain reigns! thanks for all!
Hi, I like this article, it’s something I very much subscribe to. I deliver a lot of change management work and I came across a guy’s work sometime back that made a lot of sense to me.
The guy is Peter Vaill and he wrote a book that talked about the changing nature of commerce causing companies and their people to be in a constant state of change.
He talks about the need to learn to constantly learn and adapt. He refers to it as navigating the “permanent white water”. The metaphor is that we don’t quite know what’s around the bend, how strong the current is, when the next rock will cause an upset in our journey or if we’ll sustain casualty along the way. Whatever we face, change is a true constant.
It may seem like a typical current thinking, but it might surprise you to know that he was writing about this back in the 1960’s. Talk about ahead of your time eh.
Anyway, he talks about 7 aspects of learning that help people be more adaptable, change responsive and learning oriented. It’s worth a read.
