    Learning all the time! (will make you awesome)

    http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/02/learning-all-the-time.html

    Why did you stop educating yourself when you graduated?

    The #1 habit successful people share with me is this: They read books to learn. They do it often and with joy. It's cheap (or free, at the library or online) and portable and specific.

    I love that last quote.  "They read books to learn . . . do it often . . . with joy."  Previously, I posted about how I like to ask job candidates what they are currently reading (http://structurallysoundtreehouse.com/favorite-non-technical-intervi).  I think Seth's post sums up my reasons for asking that question.  In other words, are you educating yourself?  Are you going to be successful?  Will you be awesome?!
