I was listening to episode 483 of the Tim Ferriss show with Jim Collins. They discussed how the best lives are ones with good relationships. Further than that, when talking about MBA’s and a group of cadet’s they mentioned (anecdotally) that the happiest people were those who helped out their classmates, and this really resonated with me because I really enjoy helping people out, and I know I feel the happiest when I do so.
I think it is really important to share your learnings with others because it not only helps you consolidate your ideas and become better at the skill or whatever it is you’re learning. More importantly, it makes you feel great and can have huge impacts on others, who, in the context of a uni degree may fail the course without the helping hand you gave. It is the classic thing of passing it forward, which is a cliche but is one for a reason. I’m sure the world would be a much better place if everyone helped each other rather than compared to competed with each other.
