I love giving commencement speeches at graduations. But most young people look shell-shocked when they hear me say that their learning has only just begun.

I tell them that to be successful, they have to follow a two-word rule. The two words? “Teach me.”

Learning doesn’t stop because we’ve graduated. In fact, “teach me” is a critical key for success for anyone.

I’ve got some examples here that show you what I mean:

Action – If you think you know everything, you’re living a life of disappointment already. But if you follow the “Teach Me” rule, you can reach any goal you set.

  1. My first mentor had a very simple set of rules; a daily checklist, kind of.
    Everyday, make sure you:
    – Learn something new,
    – Solve one problem,
    – Make money for you and your company, and
    – Have fun while doing it.
    I’m always willing to learn!
