Observation can be a helpful way to learn, but sometimes observation alone isn’t enough—things aren’t always as they appear.

Exposing yourself to diverse ideas is critical—it’s like turning over rocks to find hidden gems.

Quiet contemplation is also important. It creates space for your subconscious mind to surface knowledge that may otherwise remain buried. The brain retains everything, but access to that information doesn’t always come on demand. Often, we aren’t even aware that it’s there.

You won’t find answers to all your questions, but if you ask yourself lots of them, you will find answers to many.
