During a
hall-of-fame career as a professional golfer, he posted 92 professional
victories (12 of which were on the PGA Senior Tour). And for over half a
century, Palmer
(pictured here) has remained one of the most admired athletes in the world. As a
young boy, he learned the game from his father, Deacon Palmer, who was the head
professional of the Latrobe Country Club in Pennsylvania. In recalling his
father’s golf lessons, the younger Palmer observed, "Pap believed in
keeping the game as simple as possible. He felt that if a player mastered simple
fundamentals, then his swing and his entire game would develop naturally."
Deacon Palmer was right: If you want to hit a hole-in-one in the game of life,
first master the basics…and then keep mastering them.
First, Learn the Fundamentals, and
Then Keep Learning the Fundamentals
"Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling
to learn."
Ben Franklin
"No man ever became wise by chance."
Seneca
"There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and
staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by
fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a
laborious mosaic."
Anaïs Nin
"Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, do something.
Don't just stand there, make it happen."

"Education is hanging on until you’ve caught on."

"A man should never stop learning, even on his last
day."

"There are no mistakes, no coincidences; all events are blessings given
to us to learn from."
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
"It’s what you know after you know it all that counts."
Harry Truman
"Learning is either a continual thing or it is nothing."
Frank Tyger
Lifetime Learners Have More Fun…
"Stay interested in everything and everybody. It keeps you young."
Marie T. Freeman
"In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the
future."
Eric Hoffer
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty."
Henry Ford
"The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to
learn."
Henry S. Haskins
And Finally...
"Learn your craft. Knock on every door. Keep learning and keep
knocking."
Sol Saks
"All of life is a constant education."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"A career and a life should be a ‘work in progress,’ a giant
learning curve."
Mel Tormé
"Don’t be afraid to take advice. There’s always something new to
learn."
Babe Ruth
