Searching for a metaphor

Are you searching for a metaphor? That's what Seth Godin suggests we do:

The best way to learn a complex idea is to find it living inside something else you already understand.

"This," is like, "that."

An amateur memorizes. A professional looks for metaphors.

It's not a talent, it's a practice. When you see a story, an example, a wonderment, take a moment to look for the metaphor inside.

Lessons are often found where we look for them.
