“When you listen, it's amazing what you can learn. When you act on what you've learned, it's amazing what you can change." ~ Audrey McLaughlin ~
No matter your education and no matter your experience, you should always be open to learning. As much as you know, you can always know more - because, quite simply, you don't know everything. And that's OK. More than OK. It's awesome. How do you learn? By listening to everyone you meet. Being humble and aware that you can learn at anytime from anyone - will help you be good to yourself and to others. Imagine this world if everyone took the student view point. A great leader is only adviser when they are also learners. Be a student so that you can create, improve and help achieve great things.

2. Breathe
3. Empty your mind
4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:
I listen so that I can be a student.
