One of my profs said that a few weeks ago and I looked around to see if anyone else had heard the same thing. What? Why would you want us to be confused! Wouldn't you want us to understand the concepts and be able to complete the work without difficulty? He then went on to explain that if something confuses you, it at least means you're working at it. You haven't given up and you're trying to make sense of it.
I thought about it later on and wondered if you could apply the same concept outside of financial management princples. What else do I find confusing? What things in life frustrate me? It's cool because the more things I put on my list of "Things I can't wrap my head around", the more I realized that my prof was right. I find some things confusing because I'm still working on them. I'm still sorting through things. I don't have all the solutions or know all of the answers. I'm still in the process of learning and understanding things. Everyday I'm learning (through trial and often error) how to communicate better, how to complain less, how to look for the good in people, how to count the wins each day and how to manage my time better.
I haven't written a blog since September which is pretty unfortunate because I love writing. Needless to say I've been busy learning, busy figuring things out, busy being confused. And as strange as it may sound, I think it's okay to be confused. (At least a little bit anyways.) It may even be a good thing. At least it means you haven't given up yet and you're working at it.
What confuses you? What are you doing about it?
