200 words, annoying people, curious, Diana's Enormous Book of Quotes, growing up, irritate, learning, lessons, rub the wrong way, Who I am

“Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. ” ~ Winston Churchill

spiritual teachersI am fairly curious. I love learning stuff.

Like how I recently learned that although children get more individual vaccination shots these days than when I was a kid, in total they get less of a dose.

Or that Saguenay, Quebec has the longest winter in Canada – a total of 160 days! (note to self: Never relocate to Saguenay, Quebec)

Whether I’m watching a documentary, chatting with an expert in a specific field, or reading about an interesting subject here in the blogosphere, I love learning new things.

However, I’m not always a fan of someone pointing out the error of my ways, or even worse, when I find myself irritated, not by what someone says, but by the way I find myself reacting to them.

Much to my chagrin, as far as self-awareness goes and growing into the person I am, and continue to become, nothing else is as effective as annoying people and irritating situations.

~ DIANA’S ENORMOUS BOOK OF QUOTES ~

Can you think of an important lesson or revelation you learned from someone who initially rubbed you the wrong way?
