I feel that way just about every day...
Someone wise told me once that it's not what you don't know that causes problems, but what you think you know that really isn't true.In my work I run into people who just seem to be beyond learning anything new, because they are so convinced that they already have enough knowledge, thank you.

Other Socrates quotes:"Well, bugger me with a radish!"
"Do you breed with your cocks?"
Cocks, of course, being a synonym for rooster. An unfortunate translation by Benjamin Jowett.
life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments....
I love that Socrates quote!!I am going to start using it.
"Well, bugger me with a radish, my computer crashed!"
"Well, bugger me with a radish, I broke my nail."
"Well, bugger me with a radish, I can't find my radishes!"
You can't find them, Julie, because, ahem, you've requested they be used for other purposes:)
Okay, fine...bugger me with a cucumber.
Japanese radish looks rather like parsnip, that is, a long root vegetable...(but um no, am not trying to imply Socrates was Japanese)
Does all of this have anything to do with the Socratic method?
sounds like mentoring to me...(you may have to have been in Mini Am for this to make any sense :)
Quote of the day:The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else. -John Updike, writer (1932-2009)
Except the trees that provide the paper and the air in the towns with the paper-mills.I'm just sayin'.
;)
Creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin -- one can't exist without the other.
I don't really have one. Is that a requirement?

Unless you are Foucault, it isn't necessary to tear someone else down, essentially destroy their writing to create something new.
"If you would like to share your comments regarding our relationship with Michael Phelps, please press one ... If you're calling about the recent peanut butter recall, please press two now."--KELLOGG'S consumer hotline recording
Things are not going well for Kelloggg's right now.
Lots of buggery going on here... Jean Genet would approve.

This is the quote I needed to read today.In an interview, Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist) made this bold declaration about following your dreams:
"We who fight for our dream suffer far more when it doesn't work out, because we cannot fall back on the old excuse: 'Oh, well, I didn't really want it anyway.' We do want it and know that we have staked everything on it...Then, we warriors of light must be prepared to have patience in difficult times and to know that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how...When we first begin fighting for our dream, we have no experience and make many mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times. So why is it so important to live our personal calling if we are only going to suffer more than other people? Because, once we have overcome the defeats--and we always do--we are filled by a greater sense of euphoria and confidence...If you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here."
i was going to add this astute quote:"Sex is like pizza. When it's good it's great and when it's not good it's still not bad"
Unless there's anchovies involved, Kevin. That ruins everything.
hahahahahahahahahhaahazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

thank you, Socrates. You don't know how much I needed to hear that today.
