Experience is Not the Best Teacher — Evaluated Experience Is
Evaluating Experience Is The Best Teacher = Everyone should take inventory of their life. You can do this by journaling about relationships, actions, ideas, and lessons from each day. Then you can catalog what you realize from taking inventory and what needs to happen for tomorrow’s success. Experience is not the best teacher … It is evaluating experience that leads to learning and growth. What should you inventory today? How can you categorize your inventory so you can catalog successes and failures and build a plan for a brighter future?

Are You Telling, or Are You Creating a Shared Experience?
Have A Hunger To Learn = When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Leaders should work to share an experience rather than just teaching it. A really good teacher makes the student part of the lesson, instead of trying to make the lesson part of the student. Teach well by sharing what you know with others.  


Some of Your Greatest Thinking Will be Done by Others
Share What You Learn = The 4th essential to growth is sharing what you learn. Sharing has compounding results. A great thought is a result of several good thoughts. When you share, you multiply the potential for a great thought. Collaboration leads to improved and matured thoughts and ideas.
