Learn from other people's experiences (OPE)
From Failure--learn from them. Take notes on them. Find out what poor people read, language they lose--and don't lose it.
From Success--pick up information from others. Observe during the day, pay attention. Get from the day vs Getting Through the day. Listen. Sort through the voices that don't count. Find a voice of value. Teach kids the skill of selective listening. Don't waste time on the shallow.
