Some **Monday quick thinking on **learning, initiative, and several other **frequently touched upon topics** on the [Brainzooming](https://www.brainzooming.com/brainzooming-overview/) blog:

**Learning** - To continue learning, make sure your sense of wonder is always greater than your sense of certainty.

**Understated** - You may have to be quite overt to be perceived as being subtle in how you conduct yourself.

**Initiative** - The fastest way to establish longevity at something new is to start working toward it today.

**Praise** - When someone with little experience says what you offer is the "best," be both thankful & cautious.

**Humility** - If you think you're the smartest person you know, you REALLY need to meet some new people . . . right away. ***[– ](https://www.brainzooming.com/about-brainzooming/mike-brown/)[Mike Brown](https://www.brainzooming.com/about-brainzooming/mike-brown/)***
