Mike and Sue from Everything Dinosaur visited the Spring Fair in Birmingham.  It is an enormous trade show, the UK’s biggest home, gift and fashion retail event.  The pair had several meetings to attend.  However, they did have the opportunity to wander the halls and visit some of the trade stands.  After all, they were on the hunt for dinosaur related merchandise.

They found a children’s game entitled “So, you think you’re an expert – dinosaurs”.  We might know a little about the Dinosauria, but we are always amazed by the incredible knowledge that many children have about prehistoric animals.

As Mike happily confesses:

“I spend my life being corrected by budding young palaeontologists.”

Everything Dinosaur – Always More to Learn and Discover

Examining the children’s quiz game made Mike and Sue think.  It is important to recognise your limits, even in areas that you may feel confident in.  Just like the incredible Dinosauria, we can be powerful in our areas of expertise, but there is always more to learn and discover.  Every day is a school day!

Embracing the idea that we don’t know everything opens the door to growth and collaboration.  It can be helpful to challenge yourself.  Try to learn something new every day and acknowledge that expertise is a journey, not a destination.
