The Lifelong Learner :: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are -Roosevelt ::

I’m into history lately. And that’s only since I started listening to audio books. American revolution, the independence movement. Those were very interesting times. America was founded by several outstanding individuals: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington. Those are the ones that I came across. It’s fascinating to hear these stories. And you know what? I’m bad in history. I don’t know a lot of stuff. I’m learning a lot.

David McCullough is an interesting author, historian. If you ever get to read/listen his books, do so. You will be fascinated. Ever since I listened to his book on John Adams I’m in love with him. He knows how to capture your attention. On my must listen are his works: “The Johnstown Flood,” “The Path Between the Seas,” “The Great Bridge,” “Truman,” and “Mornings on Horseback.” Those are all excellent I hear.

I’m also into listening to biographies. I learn a lot from them. I like John Adams, Benjamin Franklin. They were very special people. They were constant learners, book lovers. They accomplished a lot in their lives.

I’m going to listen to more history, more biographies. Fascinating stuff.
