Being you

Recall:
the job of the stupid brain is to keep everything the same
the job of the smart mind is to invent a better future
for you.

The starting point for learning to learn has to be you. You will have learned best from teachers who understood and accepted you. You will learn best when you understand and accept yourself. Being yourself matters.

“No-one is an island, entire of itself; everyone is a piece of the continent, a part of the main”. John Donne should have been a psychologist. None of us learns well on our own, isolated from the influences of others; we all learn best when we are working with others. Belonging to a community matters.
