NLP through stories -story 38

Ospensky was a Russian philosopher.
He had written many books. One day he went to meet Gurdjeff, a french saint.

Ospensky said to Gurdjeff  they should sit together & talk a lot.
Gurdjeff then handed over to Ospensky a piece of paper and asked him to note down what he knew & what he did not know and that they could begin the talk on what Ospensky did not know.
Ospensky then started thinking on subject after subject;
everything seemed to be elusive;
he could not say he knew fully well; 

he could not say he did not know at all; 
Ospensky was really confused and said to Gurdjeff, " I am not sure of anything"
Gurdjeff then said," without being of sure of anything how did you write so many books?
Ospensky thought for a moment & acknowledged, " yes you are right; I started building castles of words without solid foundation of substance. Now I understand the importance of TRUTH"

Authenticity;
knowledge must get into your bones; only then learning is beneficial.
Particularly when it comes to learning & benefitting from NLP, learning by doing is very very important;
it has whole lot of benefit.
NLP is not just a set of techniques.
NLP is methodology, a process for personal and organisational change.
Integrity, Honesty is very important.
Memorizing a few  terms & parrot like repetition in class room is not mastery;
it is just impressionism.
When put to test in real life situation the gas will be out.
According to me clamoring for certificate & just completing a NLP course is only an empty sound.
Real strength lies in real learning & practice.
