When thinking of gaining knowledge we think of adding to what we know. Actually it is usually the opposite. Very seldom do we come up with the right answer the first time. Mostly we subtract that which does not work. We first have to have the honesty to admit that something isn’t working and then the courage to eliminate it. By subtracting all the things that did not work Edison came up with the light bulb. Celebrating our subtractions is a way to be happy while we are seeking knowledge.
Knowledge is added by subtracting the things that don’t work under the great BlueSky.
