"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 is research, or reading the periodicals I follow, I'm always actively learning, with an active interest. This leads to my eager compulsion to share. Anytime I share something, I stand the potential to learn something new when someone reciprocates and shares something with me I wasn't aware of. So, answering your question, I stay up-to-date every which way I can."
