About This Quote
When you are born, you are blind, but as soon as you are able to see, you are told that there are many who can see more than you can. The truth is that all people have their own unique vision. Everyone has a different way of learning. Most people learn by simply watching others.
By watching others, it is possible to learn basic skills that will aid in everyday living. But this simple method of learning can be misused because the learner does not understand what to do with the information they have learned. Instead of teaching them how to make fire, teach them how to make it themselves.
Do not allow them to simply watch another person making fire so they know what to do. Instead, teach them how to create fire for themselves by giving them the tools and information needed to do so.
