Business or Creative Writing? Part 2

Venting can be very helpful. The best part about venting is that, once you've vented, you start to realize that you were wrong. But you need to vent in order to realize that...

Having re-thought my earlier blog, I'm now starting to realize that not everything we learn is immediately useful. Some things take time to be useful. Others are useful in unforeseen ways.

To take a concept I learned from my Emerging Communications Technologies class, some of the most ground-breaking technologies were invented with completely different purposes from what eventually made them life-changing. Some inventions were created a full 40 years before they became widely useful.

In other words, it's important to realize that we don't know everything there is to know about what will help us down the road. Give it a try. Dare it to help you, and it just might, one of these days.

Guess I better start that research paper...
