[nagdu] update on my work question

[Star Gazer via nagdu]

I saw a really neat article on how drummers think differently then
nondrummers, that basically drummers are the problem solvers of the world
that they bring people together. 
I mention this because many drummers wantto be the best at drumming. 
I also think personality and education may go together

I don't know, but I am inclined to not think so. I think that what matters
most is personality , and personality, at least in my experiences, does not
tend to influence or be influenced by how smart someone is. Okay, yes,
perhaps some people who are not as smart are nicer because they are not self
centered and obsessed with being the best, but, that being said, I have met
smart people who are nice and not so smart people who are not nice, so it
goes either way.

Hi,

Education by action is the best kind of education. Clearly, in your case, it
works a treat. And, more importantly, they're as educated as they need to
be. The how and why doesn't matter, clearly your coworkers see results, and
that's what they care about. That's the best thing ever.

To tell you the truth, I think it's possible to be *too* educated.
Sometimes, it's those smart people that often have the hardest time.has
anyone else ever noticed that? Like, in school, it seemed like it was easier
to make friends with the people who was the more average students, maybe the
ones that weren't really academic? Seems that those were the people who had
more common sense going on upstairs, the ones who, if they wanted to know
something about you, they'd just plain old ask, and otherwise everyone got
on with life. The so-called A students, the ones in the AP classes that did
really well, you know, the ones who would argue about why they got a 95
instead of a 97, coincidentally, the ones I was in lots of classes with,
just didn't know what to do with us. This of course has absolutely nothing
to do with education or, I guess, much of anything else, but I still wonder
if it's really a thing or not.

backwards, but I have never had in depth conversations with anyone in my
office about Braille, guide dogs, accessible technology or general
blindness.  I just do what I need to to do and take care of my job
responsibilities and it's all good.  I guess perhaps that's education by
action?  I don't know.

dogs do exactly.  I'm not sure that it matters to them.  I show up and get
stuff done, so they are happy.  It works.   I don't think the details of the
how are so important as the results.
