An 8-year-old slid his handwritten book onto a library shelf. It now has a years-long waitlist. https://t.co/2C6kLnTbBY

The purpose of education isn't only to impart knowledge and skills. It's to instill a love of learning.

Intellectual curiosity is seeing as much beauty in ideas and data as you do in art and music.

A mark of a great teacher is a room filled with intrinsic motivation.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas.

Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments.

One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

People often hesitate to give honest feedback out of fear of damaging the relationship.

If you tell them how you're working to improve, they feel safe to speak up.

Being forthcoming about your shortcomings makes it clear that you can handle the truth.
