This is CEO member, Brayden Beard. We have just completed the book, Things You Wish You Knew Yesterday, written by the architect of the CEO program, Craig Lindvahl. My favorite chapter in this book is titled “The kitchen of learning”. I related to this chapter because it brings up the topic of learning. Throughout school, we are given a plethora of information in front of us, and most students just consume it without actually thinking about what it is they are consuming. However, there is another side to learning. A side where you can comprehend and use what is put in front of you to help you constantly grow and improve. “You could sit at the kitchen table and starve, never knowing that you have everything you need within arm’s reach.” An infinite amount of knowledge and ideas is within our reach, yet we never take the time to obtain them. This has reminded me that I need to take time to observe the world around me and take in all that it has to offer, knowing that it can help me grow in so many ways. “Lift up your head, explore the kitchen, and be amazed”.
