Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, my favorite soda is cherry coke, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. In today’s episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday I’m pleased to bring you another installment of the Friday Forum.

Meal times at my house are becoming predictable. Not because we eat the same meals every day, but because just as dinner is being served, at any given meal we know we will probably hear the words “I want the pink bowl”. We bought a stack of brightly colored bowls and plates for the kids at IKEA some time ago. When we moved into the new home, I triumphantly unpacked the bowls and plates expecting my children to be excited about their new fun dinnerware. That lasted for a little while, as Renna was still developing her likes and dislikes. Marin has always favored pink, and I am used to her constant hunt for pink things and insistence that pink be somewhere on every outfit that she wears or at least on a bow in her hair, as if she will suddenly forget what pink looks like if she goes a day without it.

I'm reading a book called The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph. Author Ryan Holiday. It's a great read and I highly recommend it. As you can gather from the title, it's a book about facing down and dealing with obstacles in life. Let me bring us into the books concept by telling two stories, the first being historical and the second personal. Listen to this episode...

John F. Kennedy once said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” The name of this podcast is Stuff I Learned Yesterday and I begin each episode with the phrase, “I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living.” Learning is incredibly important.

Learning comes from a myriad of sources. It comes through formal classroom instruction. It comes from laboratory environments. It comes through mentoring or tutoring. It comes from experience. It comes from making mistakes. It comes from observation. It comes by asking questions. Read More...

I don’t know if you heard or not, but my family and I just returned from a trip to Hawaii. Don’t worry, I won’t be talking about our time there again today. Instead, I want to tell you about something that happened as we were preparing to make the trip.

Before we get to that part of this story, let me give you a little backstory. I was born at a very young age. When I was 11 years old my 6th grade teacher noticed that I was having trouble seeing the chalkboard and told my parents that I should have my eyes checked.

The eye exam revealed that I not only needed glasses, but I needed them badly. I don’t know what my vision score is, but based on the thickness of my lenses, it’s bad. Without my glasses the whole world is a massive blur. One time when I was in 9th grade a kid pushed me down and my glasses came off my face. I was literally crawling around on my hands and knees fumbling around for them like you’ve seen on TV shows. Finally someone else came along and they were kind enough to find my glasses and give them to me. Read More...
