About This Quote

Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness" (Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998), an American educator and author, is known for his philosophy of education, which emphasizes the importance of individual differences in the learning process The purpose of education is to help everyone discover their unique identity. It's not about fitting in or pleasing others. As a matter of fact, it's not about you at all. It's about helping others because it enhances your life and the life of those around you.

There are so many people around us that need our help that we can't possibly give it to all. We each have different strengths and weaknesses that will help us achieve our goals in life. Although people might not think alike, they can still learn from each other just like positive and negative ions attract to form neutral ions. We need to learn what makes us unique so we can help people who are different than us grow and become more successful than we ever could be.

We must respect the uniqueness of others so we can share our gifts with them. There is no one size fits all education system. Everyone must find their own way to succeed in life and find their own way to teach others how to become more successful than they ever could be on their own.
