Assumptions kill curiosity. Curiosity drives connection. — Annette Mullin (Black Swan Group) Be curious, not judgmental. — Ted Lasso

Marcus Aurelius is quoted to say: If you want to learn, be willing to be taught. In today's society, we see less and less of this. Learning isn’t just about gaining information — it’s about cultivating humility. The person who is truly wise doesn’t pretend to have all the answers; they stay open, curious, and ready to be shaped. A teachable heart welcomes correction not as criticism, but as a gift — an invitation to grow. Wisdom doesn’t come to those who shout the loudest, but to those who listen longest. When we allow ourselves to be taught by others, by experience, and for some by God, we move closer to the kind of wisdom that is peaceful, gentle, and full of understanding.

I have a really cool encounter to share with you all! Today on my commute home from law school, a young guy started calling out to me from across the subway car. When I looked over, he asked, “What do you do?” I was wearing a three-piece navy pinstripe suit. Not many law students dress like that for class, but I’ve always believed in showing up sharp. I told him I’m a law student, and he said, “I figured.” Then he asked if I could help him with something. He showed me a subpoena — he’d been called as a witness in a case and was anxious about what it meant. I sat down with him, helped him understand his rights and responsibilities, and gave him a bit of clarity and reassurance. When I got off at my stop, he thanked me over and over for taking the time. All of it happened because of how I presented myself. The suit didn’t just make an impression — it opened a door. And that made it worth every bit of effort.

Here's my plan for Wednesday's suit. Moreschi shoes. Comments welcome. Thanks guys. Warner
