"Just In Case" Vs. "Just In Time"

Are you a "just in case" learner, or a "just in time" doer?

You and I grew up in the age of "just in case" education. Learn your algebra, learn to diagram a sentence, learn the battles of the Civil War, and learn the rules of volleyball just in case you might need them later.

But you and I now live in the age of "just in time" education. Start a project, start a blog, start coding an app, start an online store and, when you need to learn something, that information is only a few keystrokes away. You can learn anything you need to know just in time. 

You don't need to learn skills you'll never employ. You don't have to waste time filling your brain with information you'll never use. You mustn't wait for the right teacher or a grade. You can start this very moment.

So, what are you going to do today? Read another book, take another class, watch another YouTube video just in case it might come in handy someday? Or are you going to start an endeavor worthy of your time and talents right now, knowing you can access any information you might need just in time and keep moving forward?

Keep flying higher!
