One of the things I'm best at is modeling. I find someone who is best at something I want to learn. Then I model them, and learn it myself. Then, when I've proven it to myself, I teach it to others.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the importance of learning from others before sharing knowledge.
In this quote, Tony Robbins highlights a powerful learning strategy known as 'modeling,' where one identifies individuals who excel in a desired skill or knowledge area, learns from their methods, practices it until proficient, and then shares that knowledge with others. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also enhances the capability to teach effectively, creating a cycle of learning and teaching that benefits both the learner and the broader community.

As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest. Saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. But you're not.

The appeal of reading, she thought, lay in its indifference: there was something undeferring about literature. Books did not care who was reading them or whether one read them or not. All readers were equal, herself included. Literature, she thought, is a commonwealth; letters a republic.

The part of my education that has had the deepest influence wasn't any particular essay or even a specific class, it was how I was able to apply everything I learned in the library to certain situations in my life. . . The library takes me away from my everyday life and allows me to see other places and learn to understand other people unlike myself.
