"Reading and research. It's all about asking questions. The more I know, the more I realize how little I understand. It's that common thirst for knowledge. So, whether it's research or reading the periodicals I follow, I'm always actively learning with genuine interest. This leads to an eagerness to share. Any time I share something, I stand the potential to learn something new when someone reciprocates and shares something I wasn't aware of. So, answering your question, I stay up-to-date every which way I can."
