Week 4 Thing 9

I found MERLIN and subscribed. How long does it take to get approved? Has anyone taken any of the online courses?

Is anyone else feeling like this whole process is information overload? I definitely see the value in this. Yet, I am excited about and exhausted with this much knowledge.

I found these quotes to help explain my thinking process.

Goethe:
Knowing is not enough; we must apply!

Mark van Doren:
Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment exactly proportioned to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it better.

Samuel Johnson :
Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
