Lifelong Learning

... the continual, lifelong challenge is to apply the mental endurance/critical thinking/problem solving skills from undergraduate program to "As Is" situations in the real world and transform them to the "Should Be" scenarios from graduate studies and discussions with experienced practitioners.

This is interesting because although we are all hopefully looking for ways to build upon what we learn throughout our lives we don't always understand the relationship of our stages of learning to each other. This same philosophy can be applied to so many other scenarios other than just our education process. With raising kids we teach them how to evaluate and understand relationships, hopefully portraying how relationships should be so that when they go out on their own and are confronted with the as is situation they know what it should be like.

Is it possible that in working alongside experienced practitioners they may have lost sight of the "Should Be" scenarios that they once followed? As a new graduate of the "Should Be" institute it may be our responsibility to reconnect the experienced workers in the "As Is" corporation back to the teachings of their alma mater. Or is it also possible that some situations are "Should Is" environments that require a little of both to be fully appreciated?
