I've learned that you learn best by modeling. If you want people to learn, do it!
Interpretation
What this quote means
You teach best by example, showing others how to learn through your actions.
This quote emphasizes the importance of leading by example when it comes to learning and teaching. Leo Buscaglia suggests that the most effective way for individuals to learn is through modeling, meaning that when we demonstrate behaviors, skills, or attitudes ourselves, others are more likely to adopt and internalize these ways of learning. By embodying what we want others to learn, we create a powerful environment for growth and education.

When my son, James, was doing homework for school, he would have five or six windows open on his computer, Instant Messenger was flashing continuously, his cell phone was constantly ringing, and he was downloading music and watching the TV over his shoulder.
