Every time I sit down to write, I'm reminded of that quote. We think we know, we think we understand a concept, but then we try to put it into words.

It's that struggle that seems to cement learning and build our knowledge. It's that exercise that lets us turn new insights and concepts into tools that we can use along the trail — in the expedition of business and in life.
