In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are a few.

In the beginner’s mind aren’t scares to explore what the world has to offer. But in the expert’s mind doesn’t know how to explore. I think it happens when a child going to be come an adults. Because when you’re a kid me you see the world in so many ways as different as an adult. You see it as a playground everything is new to you. The child is always going to ask a question about everything like why is the sky blue, why is the grass green, as an adult it don’t matter. A child is always wants to grow, they are always learning about the world. As an adult the simple’s thing main life wouldn’t matter for a kid it can be a new world. Worlds they can have fun in take them to image some many things that an adult can’t. Some adults ask them self me why are kids so happy all the time they don’t have worries like adults. That why some adults can’t be innocent to the world, because they don’t image the world as a playground like kids. In the expert’s mind he goes to have fewer possibilities then the beginner. You have to learn how to walk before learning how to run.

Hey Grimaldo. It is certainly true what you said. Kids are innately curious. So, kids can explore life and learn many things through their childhood. When parents scold them, kids took pains to get better. On the other hand, many of the adults hardly take criticism to improve their life or correct their mistakes. Most of the adults are programmed to follow their believing in order to act in life without be aware to learn of the daily circumstances through their life. The same things happen to the ancient professionals who don’t accept that new trends affect their knowledge. If they don’t accept criticisms or suggestions to improve their work, they could lose their job. In Spanish we say “renovar o morir” Rocio Rodriguez

good point he gives at the end "you have to learn how to walk before learning how to run".And its true that when you are beginer you thing everything is possible but after you learn about the"playgrownd" not everything is so easy. i would just make a commparation beetwen an expert and someone who stars learning about that fild becouse the comparation between children and adults its to big, becouse children will think diffferen from adults just becouse they just came into the world and they have a lot to study. however , i think he uses good examples and nice vocabulary marija sekeroska
