Back-to-school season is upon us. Fall is in the air early. (Usually, NYC is at a low simmer during this time of the year). The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drained our will to live. Instead, we have the gift of 60-degree weather. We are giddy.
This weather makes me want to drink a hot tea, eat warm comfort food and watch an Arthur Thanksgiving special. Autumn arrives, and I COME ALIVE. ✨
This time of the year comes in with a heavy dose of nostalgia, but also, with the tickle of wanting to learn new things. I mean, what is life if not an eternal pursuit of truth and knowledge?
James Clear had a fabulous quote the other day about the ones who learn the most:
“The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher.
If you really want to learn a topic, then “teach” it. Write a book. Teach a class. Build a product. Start a company.
The act of making something will force you to learn more deeply than reading ever will.”
As the temps drop, may we drop into learning mode. Pick something. Master it.
“Being ready is a myth. You start. You just do it. You suck. You figure it out.
You get better. And you do it again.” Dara Kaye
