It all starts so simply. You learn to tie your shoes, recite your ABCs, and carry the 1. Then it starts getting more complicated.
This is how life goes. You learn that people sometimes hurt you. That even if you plan as best as you can, the future can sometimes surprise you. That, the things you expect will make you happy sometimes fall horribly.
You start collecting ideas about how the world works and how you should operate within it, what to do, how to be, who to trust. Then just when you think you have it all figured out, your world cracks open and reminds you there's still so much to learn.
People oftwn debate the meaning of life and how we should live it, but I think, most agree that life's about learning. It's about being a little wiser and more aware today than yesterday, and using that wisdom to make the world a better place than you found it.
We all have that potential within us. We are all students and teachers, vulnerable, and powerful: and that's beautiful thing. The most influential people in the world have both the courage to inspire and the humility to be inspired.
