  • most people don't see themselves as learners, with a responsibility to manage  their own learning.
  • Here's the thing. In a knowledge economy, knowledge and information is power.  The more you know, the more you can do with it, the more marketable you are. You  can't AFFORD to let an organization tell you what you should be learning--
  • I think we're operating from old knowledge and learning paradigms that developed  in an industrial age when companies owned the means of production. As a worker,  you couldn't make a living if you didn't have access to the (expensive)  machinery owned by the company.
  • We shouldn't be waiting to receive permission or be empowered. We should be  seizing that power and doing everything with it that we can. Our knowledge and  skills are the only "job security we have."
