One of the things I'm best at is modeling. I find someone who is best at something I want to learn. Then I model them, and learn it myself. Then, when I've proven it to myself, I teach it to others.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the importance of learning from others before sharing knowledge.
In this quote, Tony Robbins highlights a powerful learning strategy known as 'modeling,' where one identifies individuals who excel in a desired skill or knowledge area, learns from their methods, practices it until proficient, and then shares that knowledge with others. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also enhances the capability to teach effectively, creating a cycle of learning and teaching that benefits both the learner and the broader community.

As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest. Saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. But you're not.

There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag-and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty-and vise versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you.
