What did I learn today?

“Believe in yourself, in your vision for your future and in your ability to take a small step each day toward achieving your vision.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie
My friend Doug posted a new link on Facebook yesterday.His new page asks the question "what did you learn today?".
Fascinating!
Of course I bought in and responded by posting something.Here is a link to Doug's new Facebook page :https://dougsmithtraining.blogspot.com/p/what-have-you-learned-today.html.
As I drove my route this morning, I couldn't help but to think of what I may learn today.
Late into my run, I had an aha moment.
As much as I love the question Doug posed,I understood that WHAT I learn is secondary to WHY I learn.
Learning something, a skill, or a fact is a what proposition.
I am and always have been a why kind of guy.
One is a tool,the other an action.
Once again my world was turned upside down when I opened today's Darren Daily.
Darren and Doug must be drinking from the same Kool Aid .
Darren shared his thoughts after watching a South Park episodes called Gnomes.
The big take away for meis when Darren said knowledge (what we learn) is only 10% of learning. What we do with that knowledge is the other 90%.
What vs. Why.
The Universe must be reaching out to me.
These things don't just happen.
This is what I learned today!
Thanks Doug & Darren!
