Dear Humans,

One thing I’ve learned as a teacher is that every single person has something to teach you. You might think you know a lot of things, but there’s always someone in the room who knows something you don’t. It doesn’t matter their age or where they’re from or what they do. They have something that you need.

Because the world doesn’t keep its knowledge in books or libraries or even in the digital cloud; it stores it in each of the 8 billion people spread around the globe.

But if you only surround yourself with people who know the same things you know, then you won’t learn much of anything. So include others and put yourself in new situations. Only then will you begin to discover the depth and wonder of the world’s knowledge.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
