The Irrelevant Education II

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Is education irrelevant? It is if you don't use it. Or if you say "I know/knew that", but don't practice it. If you do it, then you know it.
My biggest flaw over the years has been being uncoachable because I thought I knew it all. I am a good learner when it comes to reading something. My golf game is my biggest source of accomplishment, because I've shot around par for most of my career, even though I'm self-taught. I got my instruction from reading golf magazines and watching golf on TV. I felt I could do the same with other subjects.
It's only in the last 5 years that I've started to listen to various instructors when I'm attending classes, and really making an effort to do the exercises they recommend. Before I used to skip the exercises because I equated memorizing dialogue and pages with actually doing things.
Please do all exercises to make your education relevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
