Don't just do it, teach it

Teaching others how to do what we
know can be extremely satisfying
and gratifying.  And kind.
A lot of us go through our days and lives doing what we do best but don't take the time to show others how we do it or how they could do it.  We probably think they don't care but I bet they do.  I bet they would like to learn and understand our crafts. 

If we're truly passionate about what we do, then we should want to teach and show others how to do it.  Let's make it a collective point today to set aside some time with someone we like or care about to show them how we do what we do.  Really sell them on it.  Try to convince them that the thing that we do is the thing that they should do, too.  But listen, too, and maybe the thing that you independently do you can do together.

The teacher and the student

A big part of being humble is being able to listen and learn.  Yet a big part of being a big person is to be able to teach and coach and lead.  Finding a balance between these modes and finding more situations where we can teach and coach and listen and learn all of the time is hard.  Find more opportunities to do all of these things at once.
