Some of us waste a lot of time waiting for teachers to come along, telling ourselves that we can't learn anything important on our own. But learning is something that we easily can do on our own--sometimes we just get caught up in thinking that we have to learn everything about a topic or it's not worth our while, but when we approach our learning with patience, we're able to see that learning a little today and a little tomorrow and a little next week eventually will lead to us knowing a great deal. And today I can start that process with something small, simple, and important.
