The focus for today is:  We are all teachers and students.

How  else do we learn except by being exposed to a different perspective, to  information we were not familiar with? We are all teachers and  students. I learn from you and you learn from me. In the same vein, you  learn from the people in your life, and they have the opportunity to  learn from you as well.

Sometimes we  learn from people's mistakes, sometimes from their examples (good or  bad) but always we have the opportunity to look around us and see  "little mirrors" of ourselves. We are all in the same boat and if we  start learning from each other and sharing what we have learned with  others, perhaps we can get to where we're going faster.

If  everyone lives isolated behind their safe little boundaries, then each  and every one of us has to reinvent the wheel... rather than benefiting  from the fact that someone else discovered the concept and we get to  apply it to our lives.
