“The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know.”

The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know. And that’s a humbling realization.
If you want to be a learner, you have to appreciate the fact that you have much to learn. This is not false humility or some kind of feigned status. It is a mindset.

Master the principles your potential mentor teaches and then share with them how it made an impact on your life, sometimes that’s enough to kickstart a relationship that becomes a mentorship.
This can work because you’re demonstrating that their teaching works which makes them more invested in you, as you display the value of their techniques and reputation.

"Lifelong learners see Everything as an education."

Excellence takes time, and to achieve it you have to adopt the mindset of an apprentice. To think like an apprentice: <ul><li>Watch, listen and be present in the process. </li><li>Practice often instead of waiting for your Big Break.</li><li>Accept that few become great on their own and learn from whoever accepts to teach.</li><li>Offer to help the experienced in their missions. They will like you better and may become “patrons”.</li></ul>

Lifelong Learners

Over the years, I've met many influential and successful people, and I've observed a common trait in nearly all of them: they were all lifelong learners. If you want to win at life, this is non-negotiable. You have to become teachable. And the more teachable you are, the more successful you become.
