About This Quote
Instruction does much, but encouragement every thing. We spend a lot of our time teaching others what we know or how to do things. However, we forget that learning and doing are two separate things. I am not always the smartest person in the room, but when I am in a group of people discussing something, I can often be the most knowledgeable and offer the best advice.
I am more than just a student in a classroom. Also, in life we can’t always be giving instruction and encouragement to others. There will be times where we need to take it easy and be by ourselves.
We must stop worrying about others and instead focus on our own problems. This is what makes our lives possible.
