In my first blog on Circle of Learning, I talked about truthfully representing our world with a globe rather than a flattened map. I was referring, essentially, to the differences in circle and line.
Start drawing a line. You will have two points A and B to signify the start and the end of the line. However those two points can be a straight line showing the shortest distance or time to achieve the set goal at point B. However, the distractions along the way may not make it a straight line.
Compare that with drawing a circle. Start at A, but the point B has to end in A to complete the circle. The circle can be small or large depending on what you are set out to achieve. Make it small to get a sense of completion and expand it by adding more inside the circle.
When circle expands, it remains a circle with a sense of completion at each stage of expansion. The quadrants remain for you to give the sense of stability in your achievements. The first of these quadrants is the A or A square quadrant.
It is our first quadrant to learn about. What we learn about within the quadrant is the essence of Acquire and Apply. The beauty of the these quadrants are that they can be the first quadrant or the fourth quadrant, but they complete your circle of learning.
