“I started teaching what I know and it feels like what I was meant to do.”
Knowledge kept is knowledge that dies with you; knowledge taught becomes immortal in a small way, living on in every person you reach. You've found the work that turns your finite expertise into something that outlasts you. Teaching is legacy in its purest form. Take it seriously — you're not just sharing information, you're extending your reach beyond your years.
Your Practice
- Identify the most valuable thing you know and build a way to teach it well.
- Make it stick, not just sound good. A lesson forgotten leaves nothing behind.
- Watch for the student who'll go further than you. Invest most there.
- Keep learning yourself. You can't teach from an empty well.
