Perfecting Your Craft – Moving into and higher in “HIGHER” Education

“HIGHER” education is: A SELF – Imposed (independent),CONTINUOUS perfecting (maturing) of your profession and/or discipline through various educational resources (i.e. books, seminars, audio, school, college, etc). It is a FOCUSED, CONCENTRATED, ONGOING study. The pursuit of certifications, degrees and doctrines are sufficient, but are all derivatives of independent studies performed by a person or team of personnel. These “HIGHLY” educated specialists turned authors have presented their philosophies, concepts, and axioms to the world and we have universally accepted them as “TRUTH”. However, we must consider these as “TRUES”, but not “THE TRUTH.” Anytime you see “THE” in front of a word (noun) it is considered as a definite article, meaning that it is the one and only. Trues used in this scenario is in plural form, the word is emblematic of “MANY.” My assumption is that after much trial, test and speculation these concepts are accepted as industry trues (norms) and are embedded into a framework for us as students, people and practitioners to follow. The objective of this discourse is to broaden your understanding in the area of philosophy , defined as a set of values, OPINIONS AND IDEAS. Many times we read something in a book , a newspaper or a magazine and accept that information as “THE TRUTH”. These are not “TRUTH” but should be seen as “TRUES.”
