“The lesson is an obvious one, but still difficult to practice: to be curious we have to slow down. To learn, your mind, body, and heart need to be open and absorbent, and that requires slowing down. In the world you are being born into, son, slowing down is hard. It’s something you are never taught. In the world today, you will be trained, cajoled, and incentivized to do the opposite - the world will do everything it can to get you to go fast. But you don’t have to always acquiesce.”

“If you decide that choosing goodness over power matters to you, and that you want to learn to choose it, you must know what it is. You have to understand goodness to choose it. But as I’ve mentioned already, goodness and an understanding of it doesn’t grow on trees. You’re not born with that knowledge at birth, you have to go figure it out, you have to earn it and learn it. And therefore, you must want to learn it.”
