He says, "It's not what you know. It's who you know." And yes, he understands that I don't agree but I especially understand that I have very little I can teach him. I don't even know if my truth should be his. He's right. I wouldn't be where I am today without the people in my life.
Today I am grateful for a kid who has been kind enough to slow down for a moment and teach me.
The irony is that when I feel angry, insecure, disappointed, or like I need a drink, it's not because of who I know. It's because of how little I've learned with all the advantages I've had. It's because I should be better than I am.
