Dormant knowledge.

Dormant knowledge.

Recently, when I decided to delve deeper into areas of knowledge that could, in one way or another, help me in a new field—mushroom growing and poultry farming, for example—I realized how much I didn't know before, or at least my knowledge was very superficial.

But, you know, superficial knowledge, to some extent, makes it easier to grasp more fundamental principles, and with it, it's more like a snail, or its shell, that's been dormant somewhere in the branches of a tree and is beginning to awaken.

So, although I've become proficient with an electric welder, I still didn't know many of the nuances.

For example, different methods of welding, directing the weld so that the metal of the structure being welded isn't under excessive stress and doesn't drift.

Back when I had to weld metal, I worked on a machine without current adjustments and it was interesting to know the current strength that needed to be used for different thicknesses of metal.

And, in fact, this applies to everything I try to learn.

I see my knowledge as a tiny mushroom, but if you really dig deeper, you can see how enormous the mycelium of this mushroom is. That's the case with everything. Some compare it to the underwater part of an iceberg, but mushrooms are closer to my heart. LOL.

Sometimes I might think that maybe I should stop with what I've already learned, but then I tell myself that such knowledge isn't like a cherry; it can't become overripe and useless, and even if I can't use it, I can still tell my children something useful.

More to come!
