I've learned that you learn best by modeling. If you want people to learn, do it!
Interpretation
What this quote means
You teach best by example, showing others how to learn through your actions.
This quote emphasizes the importance of leading by example when it comes to learning and teaching. Leo Buscaglia suggests that the most effective way for individuals to learn is through modeling, meaning that when we demonstrate behaviors, skills, or attitudes ourselves, others are more likely to adopt and internalize these ways of learning. By embodying what we want others to learn, we create a powerful environment for growth and education.

I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, βOh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just donβt have time,β Iβm thinking, βHow can you not have time?β I read when Iβm drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when Iβm sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read.
