How to get smarter

Be curious. This is the first step to being smarter. You can always be smarter than you were yesterday if you are curious enough to learn something new today.

1. Ask questions - my daughter asks about 200 questions a day (she is 3) because she is learning and taking in new experiences every minute of every day. We would be wise to learn from this practice. She asks my favorite questions too:

• Why? - when you ask why you can get people to open up. For example, you learn a friend is moving, ask why.
• What's that? ("It is better to look uninformed than to be uninformed").

Questions lead to better ideas.
​2. Read a lot - read as much as you can. Listen to audiobooks. Forever be a student of whatever interests you. 

If you do these two simple things you are on your way to growing smarter every day. #learnsomethingneweveryday
