Resource-Mining

Education is a key element in the success equation. One can never ascend to the heights of a ladder without first scaling each individual rung. One must have a clear-cut path in which to follow in order to maximize potential. Determining resource availability is a vital component to education. Resources while plentiful may appear as rare and intangible as the rare black opal.

This is an illusion. While it may be difficult to mine for resources that will aid in your development and growth it is not illusory.  It is necessary to understand that sometimes the most valuable of resources as it relates to growth, development, and success are hidden in plain sight.

“The capital-T Truth is about life before death.  It is about simple awareness — awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, that we have to keep reminding ours selves, over and over: “This is water, this is water.” – David Foster Wallace
