SLOW LEARNERS

Most of us consider ourselves
to be quick on the learning curve
especially when it concerns our life,
we think we can make snap decisions
have not we made them many times before,
so why do not things pan out as we planned
in reviewing our years, just what is our score,
those of you who with insight are exceptionally gifted
can you truly tell yourself you are batting four out of four -

The learning curve is applicable to all things in life
be it your relationships, your job or career, even your wife,
for the many daily decisions that have to made either together or alone
are largely based on what, over the past years, you think you have learned,
do you wonder how you may have miscalculated, for surprises always show up
true, there are many unforeseen circumstances completely out of your control,
yet from your past learning curve one learns to make provisions to factor those in -
the numerous pressures that daily are upon us, are both our doing though often not,
still, in one way or another, how and what we do will be strongly affected by the way
we cumulatively store and interpret what we gained from our learning curve.
