I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I do writing them. My goal is…well, I suppose I have a few. First, I want you to know that you are not alone. Life is a wacky ride, it’s pretty complicated and can feel really lonely. Second, in the States, we identify ourselves with our jobs more than any other country in the world and we are supposed to climb the ladder to the highest rung, whether we want to or not. Man ‘o man, that’s a lot of pressure, the ladder is wobbly and missing a few steps! So, I want to share with you some of the things that I have learned along the way in my completely over-educated life. Maybe they will help you navigate or give you a new perspective. Last, I hope you chuckle at least once when read my writing. Life may not be short, but it sure is quick and would be more enjoyable if we all laughed a bit more.
Please pop over to the Resources section. I will add things as I develop them or stumble upon them. Make sure to check back every so often.
All the best- Dr. Weissrock
But I hate Math…
What make Polymaths truly special is their curiosity and the way they approach that curiosity. They don’t waste time identifying as anyone in particular—they see their identities as whatever they need to be to help them do whatever it is they want to do— rather than standing on a platform of what they do, what they know, who they know, and what they can learn. Simply put, they will duck and weave in pursuit of an answer, and their preconceptions, assumptions, and pride are put to the side. Polymaths are scrappy!
First things first
Financially, not a great idea, but as James Baldwin said, “Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.”
Jack of All Trades- Master of a Few
He stopped me and said, “Sam, that’s too broad, it’s too much”. I argue that it is not enough. I had yet to include community, belief systems, or a plethora of other facets that sum up the whole of being humanity.
